So, I'm not asking for answers at all. That's wrong. But, I am asking for help with this question. I keep going and rereading all the needed information I'm provided on Connexus but I still don't understand this. Maybe I'm just dumb and need to start rereading things more then 3 times, but if I could get help, that'd be great.

What are the perimeter and area of a rectangle with a length of 20 in. and a width of 15 in.?

Thank you, Ms. Sue.

You are welcome, Alexandria.

No worries, I'm here to help you understand how to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle with given length and width.

First, let's break down the definitions:

1. Perimeter: The perimeter of a shape is the distance around its outer edge. For a rectangle, you can calculate the perimeter by adding up the lengths of all four sides.

2. Area: The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies. For a rectangle, you can calculate the area by multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.

Now, let's apply these definitions to the values given in your question:

The length is given as 20 inches and the width as 15 inches.

To find the perimeter, add up the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

Substituting the given values, we have:
Perimeter = 2 * (20 + 15)

Simplifying, we get:
Perimeter = 2 * 35
Perimeter = 70 inches

To find the area, multiply the length by the width:
Area = length * width

Substituting the given values, we have:
Area = 20 * 15
Area = 300 square inches

So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 70 inches and the area is 300 square inches.

Remember, understanding the process is more important than simply memorizing the answers.
