You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of a rectangle is 5cm, and its perimeter 14 cm. What is the area of the rectangle in square centimeters?
---------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
14 = 2(5 + W)
7 = 5+W
W = 2 cm (width)
---------------
Area = LW
Area = 5*2 = 10 cm^2
