Example Question #25 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
One side of a rectangle has a length of 10. What is the area of this rectangle if it has a perimeter of 120?
Based on what we were told, our rectangle looks like this:
We know, therefore, that there is 
The area of a rectangle is its base times its height. Therefore, the area is:
Example Question #26 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
A rectangle has a width of 
To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:
This problem provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.
Thus, the solution is:
Example Question #24 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
A rectangle has a width of 
Not enough information is provided.
In this problem you are given the width and perimeter of the rectangle. However, to solve for the area of the rectangle you must first find the length of the rectangle. To do so, work backwards using the formula:
Now that you know the width and length of the rectangle, apply the area formula: 
Example Question #53 : Geometry
Find the area of the rectangle shown above.
To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:
The image provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.
Thus, the solution is:
Tip for mental math: Since you are multiplying 
Example Question #61 : Geometry
A rectangle has a length of 
To solve this problem, first note that the width of the rectangle must equal:
Now that you know the width and length of the rectangle, apply the area formula: 
Example Question #41 : Plane Geometry
A rectangle has a width of 
To find the area of a rectangle apply the formula:
This problem provides the measurements for both the width and length of the rectangle.
Thus, the solution is:
