Answer:
The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all four sides. x is in this case the length of the rectangle while y is the width of the rectangle. The area is a measurement of the surface of a shape. for example
You are able to find the perimeter of the rectangle by adding length and width and multiplying by two because the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length. Both lengths of the rectangle are the same, and both widths are the same. For example, P = 2 * (14 + 8) = 2 * (22) = 44 centimeter (17.3 in).
