    No.
A = L * W
P = 2L + 2W
    
A = L * W

    I'll get you started.
The doctor's office measures 10 ft by 12 ft.
10 * 12 = 120

    Perimeter = (2 * L) + (2 * W)
Substitute 10 and 12 for length and width. Do you get 44?

    I'm sorry -- but I have a typo in the perimeter formula.
This is the correct formula.
P = (2 * 10) + (2 * 12)
    
This is the correct formula.
P = (2 * 10) + (2 * 12)
