Perimeter of rectangle = 2( length +width)

given: Perimeter=60 ft and width=20 ft

plugging these values in the formula,

60=2(20+ length)

dividing both sides by 2

30=20+length

length =30-20=10

length is 10 feet

width is 20 feet

Area of rectangle is given by:

Area = l*w

Area = 10 *20 = 200 square feet

Answer : Area of rectangle is 200 square feet.
