Area:
A = LW

A = 12*4

A = 48

Area is 48 square inches.

-------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(12)+2(4)

P = 24+8

P = 32

Perimeter is 32 inches.

Use the following two formulas:
For area use: A = Length times width
For perimeter use: P = 2(length) + 2(width)

L = 12, W = 4

A = 12 times 4

A = 48in^2

The area is 48 squared inches.

==============================
P = 2(12) + 2(4)

P = 24 + 8

P = 32 inches

The perimeter is 32 inches.

The figure given is a rectangle not a square.
