Hey Mate!!
Let breadth be b.
Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth)
=> 28 = 2 × (8 + b)
=> 28 = 16 + 2b
=> 28 - 16 = 2b
=> 12 = 2b
=> b = 12 ÷ 2
=> b = 6 cm
Therefore, breadth is 6 centimetres.
Area = length × breadth
= 8 × 6
= 48 cm^2
Therefore, area is 48 square centimetres.

Answer:
Hello mate✌✌✌
Given,
P = 28 cm
l = 8 cm
Now,
Perimeter = 2 (l+b)
28 = 2 (8+b)
28 = 16 + 2b
2b = 28 - 16
2b = 12
b = 12/2
b = 6 cm
Hence, breadth of rectangle = 6 cm
Then,
Area = l × b
Area = 8 × 6
Area = 48 cm^2
Hence, area of rectangle = 48 cm^2
Hope it helps✌✌✌
