Question

Show working bit by bit

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width.
Given: length = 2, width = 6

Area = length * width
Area = 2 * 6
Area = 12 square units

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up all the sides. For a rectangle with length \(l) and width \(w), the perimeter \(P) is given by:

\(P = 2l + 2w\)

Given: length = 2, width = 6
Perimeter = 2(2) + 2(6)
Perimeter = 4 + 12
Perimeter = 16 units
