Question

The perimeter of a rectangle measures 78 centimeters. The measure of the width is 15 centimeters. What is the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

Area of rectangle is
`360cm^(2)`

Explanation:

Given width = 15cm ,

Perimeter of rectangle = 2x(length + width)

According to the question,

`78cm = 2X(l + 15cm)\\39cm = l+15cm\\ l = 24cm`

Hence,

Area = length X width =
`24X15 = 360cm^(2)`

Therefore,

Area of rectangle is
`360cm^(2)`
