The perimeter of a rectangle is $4(2 + \sqrt{3}) \ cm$. One of its sides is $1 + \sqrt{3}$ cm long. Find the area of the rectangle.

      

Find the area of the rectangle if the perimeter of a rectangle is $4(2 + \sqrt{3}) \ cm$ and one of its sides is $1 + \sqrt{3}$ cm long.

  

Answers

Other side = $\frac{4(2 + \sqrt{3} - 2(1 + \sqrt{3}}{2} \ = 3 + \sqrt 3$

Area = $(3 + \sqrt 3)(1 + \sqrt 3) = (6 + 5 \sqrt 3) cm^2$
