Write a C program to compute the perimeter and area of a rectangle with a height of 7 inches. and width of 5 inches. Expected Output : Perimeter of the rectangle = 24 inches Area of the rectangle = 35 square inches C programming: Perimeter of a rectangle A perimeter is a path that surrounds a two-dimensional shape. The word comes from the Greek peri (around) and meter (measure). The perimeter can be used to calculate the length of fence required to surround a yard or garden. For rectangles or kites which have only two different side lengths, say x and y, the perimeter is equal to 2x + 2y C programming: Area of a rectangle The area of a two-dimensional figure describes the amount of surface the shape covers. You measure area in square units of a fixed size, square units of measure are square inches, square centimeters, or square miles etc. The formula for the area of a rectangle uses multiplication: length • width = area . A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.
