    Default I can't get classes to work.

    I have two files. I tried coding a program where one file is my Rectangle class that finds and calculates area and perimeter, while the other file uses the Rectangle class and creates two objects. But I can't seem to get it to work. What's wrong with it?
    "MyRectangleClassProgram"
    import Rectangle.pkg.Rectangle;
     
    public class MyRectangleClassProgram
    {
       public static void main(String args[])
       {
            Rectangle = new rectangle1();
            Rectangle = new rectangle1();
     
            rectangle1.setLW(10.0);
            rectangle1.setLW(5.0);
            rectangle2.setLW(7.0);
            rectangle2.setLW(3.0);
     
     
            System.out.println("Perimeter of rectangle1 is ");
            System.out.println(rectangle1.calculatePerimeter());
            System.out.println("\n");
            System.out.println("Area of rectangle1 is ");
            System.out.println(rectangle1.calculateArea());
            System.out.println("\n");
            System.out.println("Perimeter of rectangle2 is ");
            System.out.println(rectangle2.calculatePerimeter());
            System.out.println("\n");
            System.out.println("Area of rectangle2 is ");
            System.out.println(rectangle2.calculateArea());
            System.out.println("\n");
     
     
          System.exit(0);
       }
    }
    "Rectangle"
    class Rectangle
    {
    	public double length, width;
     
     
    	public double getLW(double len, double wid){
            return length;
            return width;
        }
     
        public double setLW(double len, double wid){
            length = len;
            width = wid;
            return;
        }
     
    	public double calculateArea(){
            return width * length;
        }
     
    	public double calculatePerimeter(){
            return 2 * (width + length);
        }
    }

    MyRectangleClassProgram.java:1: error: package Rectangle.pkg does not exist
    What folders are the source files located in?
    What is the current directory where the javac command is executed?
    What is the contents of the command line when the javac command is executed?

    Is all of the source code posted? The Rectangle class is missing a package statement.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    All the information I have is given here. I'm given two tabs and I have to code in them. https://gyazo.com/a755525d125f1933cf0a14a507394611 It's online on a site called Cengage.
