To find the perimeter of the rectangle you add up all the sides.
There are two lengths and widths for every rectangle, so you know the length is 40 meters x 2 = 80 meters.
Perimeter is the total length of all the sides so you just minus 120 from the two lengths which is 80.
So the width is 40, divide 2 (2 widths) = 20 meters.
Width = 20 meters OR if they're asking for widthS then it'll be 40 meters, but they're not.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (1.6 + 0.8) = 2 x 2.4 = 4.8 meters
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.
Perimeter is Length + width x 2 or Length + length + width + width. This is perimeter for any shape including a rectangle. Perimeter of a rectangle is all sides added together for a rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the space inside the rectangle. To calculate either one you need the length and the width of the rectangle. To calculate the area multiply the length times the width. To calculate the perimeter add the length+width+length+width (that is the distance all the way around)
