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

1 answer

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
