The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides. For a rectangle, where length is denoted by L and width by W, the perimeter is given by 2 * (L + W).
def calculate_rectangle_perimeter(length, width):
return 2 * (length + width)
# Taking input for the length and width of the rectangle and calculating its perimeter
def calculate_and_display_rectangle_perimeter():
length = float(input("Enter the length of the rectangle: "))
width = float(input("Enter the width of the rectangle: "))
perimeter = calculate_rectangle_perimeter(length, width)
print("Perimeter of the rectangle:", perimeter)
calculate_and_display_rectangle_perimeter()
Enter the length of the rectangle: 5
Enter the width of the rectangle: 3
Perimeter of the rectangle: 16.0
Enter the length of the rectangle: 7.5
Enter the width of the rectangle: 4.2
Perimeter of the rectangle: 23.4
The function calculate_rectangle_perimeter(length, width)
calculates the perimeter of a rectangle using the formula 2 * (length + width).
The function calculate_and_display_rectangle_perimeter()
takes input for the length and width of the rectangle, calculates its perimeter using the aforementioned function, and displays the result.
