You cannot find the area of a rectangle if you only know its length. You need to know its width too. Then you multiply its length by its width.
Area of rectangle divided by its length = width of rectangle
LengthXWidth=Area
Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length
You really can't unless you know something else about the length or width or even the area of the rectangle. You have 2 unknowns (length & width) & only one equation (perimeter). In order to find 2 unknowns you need 2 equations, that's why you need to know something else about the rectangle such as how the length & width are related to each or the area of the rectangle. Hope that helps.

Area of rectangle divided by its length = width of rectangle
You would also need to know the area of rectangle, along with the width in order to determine the length of the rectangle.
multiply them
You divide area by length or area/length.
Divide its width into the area will give its length
LengthXWidth=Area
Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.

The area of rectangle is : 896.0
Lengthxwidth=area You multiply the length times the width and then you put the answer in squared units
