Question

2. The perimeter of a rectangle is 72 cm. The width of the rectangle is 16 cm. What is the area of the rectangle?​

Answer 1

ANSWER
320cm ²

STEP BY STEP
2 widths (16) should equal 32, so you should have 40cm left. Divide 40 by 2 to get one length. Length = 20, width = 16.

So to find the area, you multiply length times width. 20 x 16 = 320

The area is 320cm ²
