the sum of the length and breadth of the rectangle is 52 cm, then find the area (cm2) of the rectangle.Solution
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 7x cm and 6x cm, respectively. According to the question, 7x + 6x = 52 Or, x = 52/13 = 4 Therefore, area of the rectangle = 7x × 6x = 42x2 = 672 cm2
