Let L and W be the length and width of the rectangle, respectively. To solve for the perimeter (P) and area (A), use the following formula:

P = 2 x (L + W)

A = L x W

Substituting the given value for the dimensions,

P = 2 x (2m + 3m) = 10 m

A = 2m x 3m = 6m^2

Therefore, the perimeter is 10m and the area is 6m^2.
