It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Skill: Find the Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle (labeled)" with several problems asking to find the
area and
perimeter of rectangles, given their length and width.
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this type of problem based on the typical structure of such worksheets. Let’s go through the
formulas and then solve
a few sample problems as examples.
---
🔷 Formulas:
For a rectangle:
-
Perimeter (P) = 2 × (Length + Width)
→ $ P = 2(l + w) $
-
Area (A) = Length × Width
→ $ A = l \times w $
Units are usually in inches (in), feet (ft), or centimeters (cm), and answers should include units.

Let’s assume the problems on your worksheet look something like this (based on common formats):
---
✔ Example Problems & Solutions:
#### Problem 1:
-
Length = 14 in,
Width = 10 in
-
P = ?,
A = ?
Solution:
- $ P = 2(14 + 10) = 2(24) = 48 $ in
- $ A = 14 \times 10 = 140 $ sq. in
✔ Answer:
- $ P = 48 $ in
- $ A = 140 $ sq. in
---
#### Problem 2:
-
Length = 5 ft,
Width = 3 ft
-
P = ?,
A = ?
Solution:
- $ P = 2(5 + 3) = 2(8) = 16 $ ft
- $ A = 5 \times 3 = 15 $ sq. ft
✔ Answer:
- $ P = 16 $ ft
- $ A = 15 $ sq. ft
---
#### Problem 3:
-
Length = 9 cm,
Width = 7 cm
-
P = ?,
A = ?
Solution:
- $ P = 2(9 + 7) = 2(16) = 32 $ cm
- $ A = 9 \times 7 = 63 $ sq. cm
✔ Answer:
- $ P = 32 $ cm
- $ A = 63 $ sq. cm

📌 Tips for Solving All Problems:
1. Identify the
length and
width from the problem.
2. Plug into formulas:
- Perimeter: $ 2(l + w) $
- Area: $ l \times w $
3. Don’t forget to
include units in your final answer!
4. If the dimensions are mixed (e.g., one in feet, one in inches), convert them first!

❓ What if the problem gives only perimeter or area?
Sometimes, problems give perimeter and one side, and ask for the missing side. For example:
> "The perimeter is 30 in, and the length is 8 in. Find the width."
Use:
- $ P = 2(l + w) $
- $ 30 = 2(8 + w) $
- $ 15 = 8 + w $
- $ w = 7 $ in
But since your worksheet seems to be straightforward (just compute both), most likely all problems give both dimensions.
---
✔ Final Advice:
Go through each problem on your worksheet using the steps above. Just apply:
- $ P = 2(l + w) $
- $ A = l \times w $
And double-check your arithmetic and units.

If you can
type out a specific problem from the worksheet (e.g., "Problem 5: l = 12 in, w = 5 in"), I can walk you through it step by step.
