Question

A square 20 cm long and a rectangle 24 cm long have the same perimeter. Find the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

20 * 4 = 80 = perimeter of the square 24*2 = 48, the length of two sides of the rectangle. Deducting from 80 we are left with 32 and dividing by 2 we know the rectangle is 24 x 16 Area = L * W, so you can calculate the area of the rectangle.
