Chapter 6, Problem 13STP

To determine

To calculate:Tofind the area of the figure in square centimeters.

Answer to Problem 13STP

Area of figure is $102$ square centimeter

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The length of a rectangle is $5$ centimeters longer than twice the width. Width of rectangle is $6$ centimeters.

Calculation:

Given that width of rectangle is $6$ centimeters

Let us assume that length of rectangle is $x$

Also, length of a rectangle is $5$ centimeters longer than twice the width

Thus, equation is

$\begin{array}{l}x=5+2\left(6\right)\\ x=5+12\\ x=17\end{array}$

Now, area of rectangle is

$\begin{array}{l}Area=Length\times Width\\ Area=17\times 6\\ Area=102cm\end{array}$

Hence, Area of figure is $102$ square centimeter
