Area of a rectangle with a width of 36cm and a perimeter of 80cm

The area would be 144cm^2.

In order to find the area, we need to know the length of the rectangle. We can find that using the perimeter formula.

2l + 2w = P

2l + 2 (36) = 80

2l + 72 = 80

2l = 8

l = 4

So now that we know the length is 4, we can find the area using that formula.

A = lw

A = (4) (36)

A = 144
