Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width). Given the perimeter is 20 meters and one side (base) is 6 meters, we can find the other side (length). Let's denote the length as L. So, 2(6 + L) = 20. Solving for L gives L = 4 meters. The area of a rectangle is length × width, which in this case is 6 meters × 4 meters = 24 square meters.
