Answer 1

Explanation:

Length of the room is 5 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Perimeter is equal to the sum of all sides of the room.

The shape of room is rectangle.

The perimeter of rectangular room is given by :

`P=2(L+B)\\\\P=2(5+8)\\\\P=26\ ft`

Area of a rectangular shaped room is given by :

`A=L* B\\\\A=5* 8\\\\A=40\ ft^2`

So, the perimeter and area of the rug are 26 feet and 40 sq feet.
