Answer: Perimeter = 42.2 m

Area = 81.1125 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Lower Upper

Length is given as 15.8 - -> 15.75 ≤ L < 15.85

width is given as 5.2 - -> 5.15 ≤ w < 5.25

Perimeter = 2L + 2w (Upper bound)

= 2 (15.85) + 2 (5.25)

= 31.7 + 10.5

= 42.2

Area = Length x width (Lower bound)

= 15.75 x 5.15

= 81.1125
