We can find the perimeter of a rectangle by means of the formula:
[tex]P=2a+2b[/tex]Where a and b are the length of the sides of the rectangle
To find the area of the rectangle, we can use the formula:
[tex]A=a\times b[/tex]Then for each rectangle, we have:
First rectangle, sides: 5ft and 12.5 ft
-Perimeter:
[tex]P=2\times5+2\times12.5=35[/tex]Then, the perimeter of the first rectangle equals 35 feet
-Area:
[tex]A=5\times12.5=62.5[/tex]Then, the area of the rectangle equals 62.5 ft^2
Second rectangle, sides: 15m and 8.2m
-Perimeter:
[tex]P=2\times15+2\times8.2=46.4[/tex]Then, the perimeter of the rectangle equals 46.4 m
-Area:
[tex]A=15\times8.2=123[/tex]Then, the area of this rectangle equals 123 m^2
