If the dimension of the rectangle will be 8 cm by 13 cm. Then the area of the rectangle will be 104 square cm.

What is a rectangle?

It is a polygon with four sides. The total interior angle is 360 degrees. A rectangle's opposite sides are parallel and equal, and each angle is 90 degrees. Its diagonals are all the same length and intersect in the center.

The length of a rectangle is 5 cm longer than it’s width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 42 cm.

Let w be the width. Then the length will be (w + 5).

Then we have

Perimeter = 2 (L + w)

           42 = 2 (w + 5 + w)

            21 = 2w + 5

          2w = 16

            w = 8 cm

Then the length will be

L = w + 5

L = 8 + 5

L = 13 cm

Then the area of the rectangle will be

Area = L x w

Area = 13 x 8

Area = 104 square cm
