Here’s a simple Python program to calculate the area and perimeter of a rectangle:

# Function to calculate area and perimeter of a rectangle
def rectangle_properties(length, width):
    area = length * width
    perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
    return area, perimeter

# Taking user input
length = float(input("Enter the length of the rectangle: "))
width = float(input("Enter the width of the rectangle: "))

# Calculate and display results
area, perimeter = rectangle_properties(length, width)
print(f"Area of the rectangle: {area}")
print(f"Perimeter of the rectangle: {perimeter}")

Explanation:

  • The user inputs the length and width.
  • The program calculates the area using length * width.
  • The perimeter is calculated using 2 * (length + width).
  • The results are displayed.
