The perimeter of a rectangle is 72m. the width of the rectangle is 16m. what is the area of the rectangle

The width (breadth) of the rectangle = 16m

The perimeter of rectangle = 72m

We have to find the length to find the area

Let length be x

P = 2(l +b)
72 = 2(x+16)
72/2 = x+16
36 = x+16
36 - 16 = x
x=20

:. Length = 20 m

Area of rectangle = length × breadth
A = l×b
A = 20 × 16
A = 320 sq.m
