What is the area of the dog pen?__
What is the perimeter of the dog pen?_

Answer 1

The area of the dog pen is 522
`ft^2`. (feet squared)

The perimeter of the dog pen is 94 feet

Explanation:

Area

Here is the formula for the area of a rectangle.

`A=lw`

We are given

`l=29\\w=18`

Lets evaluate
`A`.

`A=29*18\\A=522`

Perimeter

Here is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

`P=2w+2l`

We are given

`l=29\\w=18`

Lets evaluate
`P`.

`P=2l+2w\\P=(2*29)+(2*18)\\P=58+(2*18)\\P=58+36\\P=94`
