Explanation:

Since the envelope is a rectangle

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

where

l is the length

w is the width

Area of a rectangle = length × width

From the question

l = 4 inches

w = 8 inches

For the perimeter

P = 2(4) + 2(8)

= 8 + 16

We have the final answer as

24 inches

For the area

A = 4 × 8

We have the final answer as

32 inches²

Hope this helps you
