Answer 1

To find the area of the window. Being a rectangle, we just need to multiply its base and height. The base is 33 inches, and the height is 62 inches, then:

`\text{Area}=(33in)\cdot(62in)=2046in^2`

The area of the window is 2046 square inches.

The perimeter of it is the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides in the rectangle. We have 2 sides 62 inches long (left and right), and 2 sides 33 inches long (top and bottom). Then, the perimeter is:

`\text{Perimeter}=33in+33in+62in+62in=190in`

If the window's glass is to be replaced, the measure used to find the amount of glass needed is the area, since the glass covers all the window, including the inside. If a wire will be placed around the window, the measure used to estimate the amount of wire needed will be the perimeter, because the perimeter gives us t
