Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter =63 inches

Area = 243in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Length of computer = 18in

Width of computer = 13.5in

From the given data the computer has a rectangular shape

Perimeter of the computer = L+L+W+W= 2L+2W

Perimeter = 2(18)+ 2(13.5)

Perimeter = 36+27=63 inches

Area of rectangular shape = L*W

Area = 18 x 13.5= 243in²
