To find the perimeter and area of a rectangle with a given length and width, you can use the following formulas:

1. Perimeter of a Rectangle: The perimeter [tex]\( P \)[/tex] is the total distance around the rectangle. It is calculated by adding up all the side lengths.

Formula:
[tex]\[ P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) \][/tex]

2. Area of a Rectangle: The area [tex]\( A \)[/tex] is the amount of space enclosed within the rectangle's sides. It is calculated by multiplying the length by the width.

Formula:
[tex]\[ A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \][/tex]

Given:
- Length [tex]\( = 15 \)[/tex] centimeters
- Width [tex]\( = 14 \)[/tex] centimeters

Let's calculate the perimeter and area:

### Perimeter Calculation
[tex]\[ P = 2 \times (15 \text{ cm} + 14 \text{ cm}) \][/tex]

First, add the length and the width:
[tex]\[ 15 \text{ cm} + 14 \text{ cm} = 29 \text{ cm} \][/tex]

Then, multiply by 2:
[tex]\[ P = 2 \times 29 \text{ cm} = 58 \text{ cm} \][/tex]

### Area Calculation
[tex]\[ A = 15 \text{ cm} \times 14 \text{ cm} \][/tex]

Multiply the length by the width:
[tex]\[ A = 210 \text{ square centimeters} \][/tex]

### Final Answers
- Perimeter = 58 centimeters
- Area = 210 square centimeters
