Question

find the area and perimeter of a rectangle that is 6 inches 3 inches

Answer 1

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

1. **Area (A)** of a rectangle:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

2. **Perimeter (P)** of a rectangle:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]

Given the dimensions of the rectangle are 6 inches (length) and 3 inches (width):

### Area:
\[
A = 6 \, \text{inches} \times 3 \, \text{inches} = 18 \, \text{square inches}
\]

### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (6 \, \text{inches} + 3 \, \text{inches}) = 2 \times 9 \, \text{inches} = 18 \, \text{inches}
\]

**Summary:**
- Area: 18 square inches
- Perimeter: 18 inches
