Area and Perimeter Calculator with Python
Level 1: Beginner
Project Level 1: Beginner.
This project is designed for beginner learners who are still learning and practicing Python fundamentals.
Project Description
The objective of this project is to create two Python functions -one that calculates the area and one that calculates the perimeter of a rectangle.
How the Project Works
(1) Create a rectangle_area function that has two parameters: width and height. The function should calculate the area of the rectangle and return it using a return statement.
(2) In the same script, create a rectangle_perimeter function that has two parameters: width and height. The function should calculate the perimeter of the rectangle and return it using a return statement.
(3) Call the two functions by using some sample values (e.g., 10 for width and 3 for height) as arguments for width and height and print out the output.
Here is an example of how the output would look like
