The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 centimeters. the width is 77 centimeters. what is the area of the rectangle

As P = 2L + 2W

32 = 154 + 2W

So L = - 61

However it is impossible for the length of a rectangle to be less than 0, i. e. negative. So this rectangle does not exist and hence has no area, length, width or perimeter.

First find length. p=2 (l+w)

32=2l+154

32-154=2l

-122=2l divide both sides by 2

l=-61

area = (l x w)

A=-61 x 77=-4697 square cm
