A rectangle has a length of 12 feet and a width of 5 feet.

Which correctly states both the perimeter and area?

Perimeter = 60 ft, Area = 34 ft²

Perimeter = 34 ft, Area = 60 ft²

Perimeter = 34 ft², Area = 60 ft

Perimeter = 60 ft², Area = 34 ft

Perimeter = 34 ft, Area = 60 ft²

Perimeter: \(2(12) + 2(5) = 24 + 10 = 34\) ft — linear units.
Area: \(12 \times 5 = 60\) ft² — square units.
