1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangular window with width 38 inches and height 69 inches. We need to find the area and perimeter of the window, and understand which measure (area or perimeter) applies to the wire and glass. 2. **Formulas:** - Area of a rectangle: $$\text{Area} = \text{width} \times \text{height}$$ - Perimeter of a rectangle: $$\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{width} + \text{height})$$ 3. **Calculate the area:** $$\text{Area} = 38 \times 69 = 2622$$ So, the area is $$2622\text{ square inches}$$. 4. **Calculate the perimeter:** $$\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (38 + 69) = 2 \times 107 = 214$$ So, the perimeter is $$214\text{ inches}$$. 5. **Interpretation:** - (b) The silver wire will be placed around the window, so the amount of wire needed corresponds to the perimeter. - (c) The glass will cover the surface of the window, so the amount of glass needed corresponds to the area. **Final answers:** - Area: 2622 square inches - Perimeter: 214 inches - Wire needed: Perimeter - Glass needed: Area
