area of rectangle efgh
area formulas:

• parallelogram: a = bh
• square: a = s^2
• triangle: a = 1/2 bh
• trapezoid: a = 1/2 h(b1 + b2)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A = l\times w$, where $l$ is length and $w$ is width.

Step2: Substitute values

Given $l = 24$ inches and $w = 8$ inches, so $A=24\times8 = 192$ square - inches.

Step3: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P=2(l + w)$.

Step4: Substitute values

$P = 2(24 + 8)=2\times32 = 64$ inches.

Answer:

Diagram Label	Value	Units
Width of Rectangle EFGH	8	inches
Perimeter of Rectangle EFGH	64	inches
Area of Rectangle EFGH	192	square inches
