Question

Given that x=8 and y=5 the rectangle below, find the perimeter (P) and Area(A) of the rectangle

Answer 1

Perimeter: 26

Area: 40

Explanation:

Since we can't see the image, I'll just assume that X and Y are Length and Width?

In that case, the mathematical formula for finding (P) would be:

P = 2( L + W )

This means the the perimeter is: Two times the (Length plus Width)

If we input the two numbers, the equation is now:

P = 2 ( 8 + 5 )

When you multiply these values, the final answer for perimeter will be 26.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To find the (A) of a rectangle, you must multiply the ( Length) and (Width).

So, if the length is 8, and the width is 5. 8 x 5 = 40.

Meaning that the area of this shape is 40.
