The correct answer is: Bryson found the perimeter of the rectangle, but the correct answer is 29 1/4 cm.
To calculate the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length and the width together. In this case, the length is 6 1/2 cm and the width is 4 1/2 cm.
The correct calculation for the area is (6 1/2 cm) * (4 1/2 cm) = 29 1/4 cm².
Therefore, Bryson's error was in calculating the perimeter instead of the area.
