Solution:
Length = 14 ft
Width = 6 ft
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(14+6) = 2(20) = 40 ft.
Area of a rectangle = length * width = 14 * 6 = 84 square feet.
2) Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with length 42 and width 12.
Solution:
Length = 42
Width = 12
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(42+12) = 2(54) = 108 units.
Area of a rectangle = length * width = 42 * 12 = 504 square units.

3) Find the perimeter and area of a square with side 11 meters.
Solution:
Side =11 m
Perimeter of a square = 4 * side = 4 * 11 = 44 m
Area of a square = side * side = 9 * 9 = 81 sq. m
4) Find the area and perimeter of a square with side 5.5 cm.
Solution:
Side =5.5 cm
Perimeter of a square = 4 * side = 4 * 5.5 = 22 cm
Area of a square = side * side = 5.5 * 5.5 = 30.25 sq. cm
