The length of a rectangle is 50 cm if the perimeter of the rectangle is 150 cm. Find the area of the rectangle.

Given:

Length of the rectangle = 50 cm

Perimeter of the rectangle = 150 cm

To find: Here we have to find the area of the rectangle.

Solution:

The perimeter of rectangle = 150 cm

2(l $+$ b) = 150 cm

50 $+$ b = $\frac{150}{2}$ cm

50 $+$ b = 75 cm

b = 75 $-$ 50 cm

b = 25 cm

So,

Area of the rectangle = l $\times$ b

Area of the rectangle = 50 $\times$ 25

Area of the rectangle = 1250 cm² 

So, area of the rectangle is 1250 cm².
