Question

Find the area and perimeter of the following rectangle. You must include units for full credit.

2.6 in.

1.25 in

Answer 1

To find the area and perimeter of the rectangle, we can use the following formulas:

**Area** (A) of a rectangle = length × width
**Perimeter** (P) of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)

Given:
- Length = 2.6 in
- Width = 1.25 in

### Step 1: Calculate the Area

\[
A = 2.6 \, \text{in} \times 1.25 \, \text{in} = 3.25 \, \text{in}^2
\]

### Step 2: Calculate the Perimeter

\[
P = 2 \times (2.6 \, \text{in} + 1.25 \, \text{in})
\]
\[
P = 2 \times (3.85 \, \text{in}) = 7.7 \, \text{in}
\]

### Final Results
- **Area:** \(3.25 \, \text{in}^2\)
- **Perimeter:** \(7.7 \, \text{in}\)
