There is a rectangle that is 4 inches wide. If the rectangle's perimeter is 30 inches, what is the area of the rectangle? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Twice the height of the rectangle is 30 inches - 2 * 4 inches = 22 inches. The rectangle's height is 22 inches / 2 = 11 inches. The area of the rectangle is 4 inches * 11 inches = 44 square inches. So the final answer is 44.
