What is the perimeter, in square centimeters, of a rectangle that has a length of 4 centimeters and a width of 15 millimeters?

*If you are asking for the perimeter, then it shouldn't be in square centimeters. If the unit is squared, it is for area. Because I am not sure what you want, I will do both.*

Perimeter:
length+length+width+width

First, we need to make sure that the units are the same, so let's change both of the units to centimeter: 4cm and .15cm
4+4+.15+.15
8+.30
8.30
Perimeter: 8.30cm

Area:
length x width
4x.15
.60
Area: .60cm^2


Hope this helps! If not, feel free to ask again.
