Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with a base of 8in and a height of 5 in.

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. In this case, the base (width) is 8in and the height (length) is 5in:

Area = base * height
= 8in * 5 in
= 40 in^2

So, the area of the rectangle is 40 square inches.

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the base (width) is 8in and the height (length) is 5in:

Perimeter = 2 * (base + height)
= 2 * (8in + 5in)
= 2 * 13in
= 26in

So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 26 inches.
