This just requires knowing and understanding the formulas for the perimeter, P and area, A of a rectangle with 4 right angles and 2 short sides and 2 long sides.
...
P = 2 * one of the short sides + 2 * one of the long sides
A = short side * long side
...
P = 2 * 12 ft + 2 * 14 ft
P = 24 ft + 28 ft
P = 52 ft.
...
A = 12 ft * 14 ft
A = 168 sq ft
...
cheers,
