To determine

To write:

A function perimarea that calculates and returns the perimeter, area of rectangle and pass the length and width of the rectangle as input arguments.

Answer to Problem 6.1P

Solution:

The function file is,

% MATLAB code to calculates and returns the perimeter and area of a rectangle.

%Function file.

function [perimeter, Area] = perimarea(len, Wid)

%put the input arguments as length and width and get the perimeter and area

%by using the function perimarea.

perimeter = 2*(len+Wid);

%define the variable perimeter.

Area = len*Wid;

%define the variable area.

end

% end of function

%The script file should be placed in the same folder.

Explanation of Solution

The formula for the area of the rectangle is given as,

Area=l×b

Here, the length of the rectangle is l and width is b.

Substitute 10 for l and 5 for b in the above formula.

Area=10×5=50

The formula for the perimeter of the rectangle is given as,

perimeter=2(l+b)

Substitute 10 for l and 5 for b in the above formula.

perimeter=2(10+5)=30
