Given:
Length = 25 inches
Width = 14 inches
Determine the Area of the Rectangle.
Determine the Perimeter of the Rectangle.
Formula for the Area of the Rectangle: A = lw
Formula for the Perimeter of the Rectangle: P = 2 ( l + w)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of Length and Width for the Formula of the Area and Perimeter of the Rectangle.
Area of the Rectangle:
A = lw
A = (25 inches) (14 inches)
A = 350 in^2
The Area of the Rectangle is 350 square inches.
Perimeter of the Rectangle:
P = 2( l + w)
P = 2 ( 25 inches + 14 inches)
P = 2( 39 inches)
P = 78 inches
The Perimeter of the Rectangle is 78 inches.
