For a rectangle,
area = length × width
perimeter = 2(length + width).
Example:
for a rectangle with
length = 5 ft
width = 3 ft
area = 5×3 = 15 square feet
perimeter = 2(5+3) = 16 feet
area = length × width
perimeter = 2(length + width).
Example:
for a rectangle with
length = 5 ft
width = 3 ft
area = 5×3 = 15 square feet
perimeter = 2(5+3) = 16 feet
