Answer: Perimeter = 66 cm and area =[tex]66\ m^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of rectangle is given by :-
[tex]P=2(l+w)[/tex], where l is length and w is width of the rectangle.
Given : A rectangle has a length of 5.50 m and a width of 12.0 m .
Then, the perimeter of rectangle :
[tex]P=2(12+5.50)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=2(17.50)=35\ m[/tex]
Also, area of rectangle is given by :-
[tex]A=l\times w=5.50\times12=66 \ m^2[/tex]
Area of rectangle = [tex]66\ m^2[/tex]
