Remember the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2L%2B2W where L is the width and W is the length

P=2%2812%29%2B2%285%29 Plug in L=12 and W=5


P=24%2B10 Multiply


P=34 Add

So the perimeter is 34

------------------

Remember the area of a rectangle is A=L%2AW where L is the width and W is the length

A=12%2A5 Plug in L=12 and W=5

A=60 Multiply


So the area is 60
