Barbara has a rectangle shaped mouse pad. The longest side is 8 inches and the shortest side is 3 inches. What is the perimeter and area of the mouse pad

P = 2w+2l

=2 (3) + 2 (8)

=6+16

=22 inches

A = l x w

=8x3

=24 in²

What you want for the area is on side (8) times the other side (3).

Meaning:

8*3=24

What you want to for the perimeter is all of the sides of the rectangle added up.

Meaning,

8+8+3+3=22 the perimeter is 22

Therefore the Area=24 and the Perimeter=22
