The perimeter is just all of the sides paused together:

#"perimeter"= 22 +22 +16 +16 = color(blue)(76 " units" #

The area is just the width multiplied by the height:

#" area " = 22 * 16 =color(blue)( 352 "units" ^2 #

#"perimeter "=76" and area "=352#

Explanation:

#• " perimeter "=(2xx"l")+(2xx"b")#

#• " area "="l"xx"b"#

#"where l is the length and b the breadth"#

#"if l "=22" and b "=16" then"#

#"perimeter "=(2xx22)+(2xx16)#

#color(white)(xxxxxxxx)=44+32=76" units"#

#"area "=22xx16=352" square units"#
