Answer

Perimeter: $2x^{2/3}(x^{7/3}+2)$ Area: $2x^{11/3}$

Work Step by Step

We find the perimeter of the rectangle: $$\begin{align*} \text{Perimeter}&=2\cdot\text{Length}+2\cdot\text{Width}\\ &=2x^3+2(2x^{2/3})\\ &=2x^3+4x^{2/3}\\ &=2x^{2/3}(x^{7/3}+2). \end{align*}$$ We find the area of the rectangle: $$\begin{align*} \text{Area}&=\text{Length}\cdot\text{Width}\\ &=x^3\cdot 2x^{2/3}\\ &=2x^{3+(2/3)}\\ &=2x^{11/3}. \end{align*}$$
