The area is 38 because whenever you have to find the area in an equation you always add up the total sides. The shape is a rectangle and the only numbers they give is 6 and 13 obviously the sides are equal so the opposite side of 13 is 13 and the opposite side of 6 is 6 because they're both a certain length. In total you add up all the sides 13 plus 13 is 26, 6 plus 6 is 12 , 26 plus 12 is 38
The perimeter is 78 because they only give you two number so whenever you do a perimeter in an equation you always have to remember to multiply. 13 multiplied by 6 is 78. Hope this helped ( :
