    To solve this, first we'll find the area of the rectangle A,

    Area=length * width

    ?=24m*20m

    480m=24m*20m

    480m squared=area of the rectangle A

    now we'll find the width of rectangle B,

    "the width of rectangle B is 12 meters less than the width of rectangle A",

    20m-12m = 8m

    8m=width of rectangle B

    finally we'll find the length of rectangle B,

    area of the rectangle B = 480msquared

    width = 8m

    length=? (to find this divide the area by the width)

    480:8=60m

    length of the rectangle B=60m
