Question

recall that perimeter measures the distance around a plane figure, and area measures the amount of surface of a plane figure. the expression 2l + 2w gives the perimeter of the rectangle below (measured in units), and the expression lw gives its area (measured in square units). complete the table below for the given length and width.
length (l) width (w) perimeter of rectangle (2l + 2w) area of rectangle (lw)
4.3 in. 1.7 in.

perimeter of rectangle (2l + 2w)=(type an integer or a decimal.)
area of rectangle (lw)=(type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

Substitute $L = 4.3$ and $W=1.7$ into $2L + 2W$.
$2\times4.3+2\times1.7=8.6 + 3.4=12$

Step2: Calculate the area

Substitute $L = 4.3$ and $W = 1.7$ into $LW$.
$4.3\times1.7 = 7.31$

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle $(2L + 2W)=12$
Area of rectangle $(LW)=7.31$
