(b) the windows glass will be replaced.
which measure would be used in finding the amount of glass needed?
perimeter area
(c) a silver wire will be placed around the window
which measure would be used in finding the amount of wire needed?
perimeter area

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 64 \times 32$

Step2: Calculate perimeter of rectangle

$\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (64 + 32)$

Step3: Match measure for glass replacement

Glass covers the window's surface, so use area.

Step4: Match measure for wire placement

Wire goes around the window, so use perimeter.

Answer:

(a) Area: $2048$ square inches
Perimeter: $192$ inches
(b) Area
(c) Perimeter
