The length of the rectangle is 14 meters, the width is one-half of the length. Find the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

If the side of the rectangle is ½ of its length, equal to 14 m, therefore, it is:

14: 2 = 7 m – width.

The perimeter of a rectangle whose opposite sides are equal is calculated by the formula:

P = 2a + 2b = 2 * 14 + 2 * 7 = 28 + 14 = 42 m.

The area of such a figure corresponds to:

S = a * b, substitute the measurements:

S = 14 * 7 = 98 m².
