Math Problem Statement

Use the formula for perimeter and area of a rectangle. Given that length l = 5 units and width w = 3 units, calculate the perimeter and area.

Solution

The image you've uploaded shows a question about calculating the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Let's break down the steps to solve both parts.

Perimeter

The formula for the perimeter PP of a rectangle is: P=2×(l+w)P = 2 \times (l + w) Where:

  • ll is the length
  • ww is the width

From the image, the dimensions of the rectangle are given:

  • Length l=5l = 5 units
  • Width w=3w = 3 units

Substituting into the perimeter formula: P=2×(5+3)=2×8=16 unitsP = 2 \times (5 + 3) = 2 \times 8 = 16 \text{ units}

Area

The formula for the area AA of a rectangle is: A=l×wA = l \times w Using the same dimensions as before: A=5×3=15 square unitsA = 5 \times 3 = 15 \text{ square units}


So, based on the image:

  • Perimeter = 16 units
  • Area = 15 square units

Would you like further clarification or assistance with a similar problem? Here are some related questions you might find interesting:

  1. How does changing the dimensions of a rectangle affect the perimeter and area?
  2. What is the perimeter of a square if each side is 5 units?
  3. How do you calculate the perimeter and area for irregular shapes?
  4. How do you convert units of measurement when calculating area and perimeter?
  5. What happens to the area and perimeter when the length of a rectangle is doubled but the width is halved?

Tip: When calculating area or perimeter, always make sure to apply the correct formula based on the shape and use the right units of measurement!
