Question

Make variables to represent the length and width of a rectangle, called length and width, respectively. You should set length to 10 and width to 5.

Then, write some mathematical expressions to compute the area and perimeter of the rectangle and save these values inside variables named area and perimeter.

Use print statements to display the area and perimeter of the rectangle.

Your output should print the area on the first line and the perimeter on the second, like this:

50
30
Rectangle Area Formula:
Area = L * W

Rectangle Perimeter Formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (L + W)

L is the length of the rectangle and W is the width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Here is the code to compute the area and perimeter of a rectangle with the specified length and width. It also includes print statements to display these values, along with the formulas used.

```python
# Variables for length and width
length = 10
width = 5

# Calculating area and perimeter
area = length * width
perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

# Displaying the results
print(area) # Output the area
print(perimeter) # Output the perimeter

# Displaying the formulas
print("Rectangle Area Formula:")
print("Area = L * W")

print("\nRectangle Perimeter Formula:")
print("Perimeter = 2 * (L + W)")

# Additional explanation of the variables
print("\nL is the length of the rectangle and W is the width of the rectangle.")
```

When you run this code, it will produce the following output:

```
50
30
Rectangle Area Formula:
Area = L * W

Rectangle Perimeter Formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (L + W)

L is the length of the rectangle and W is the width of the rectangle.
```

This gives you the area and perimeter along with the relevant formulas.
