Answer 1

Assuming you're using Python 3,

print ("The area of your shape is: ", (a*b))
#                                   ^

You forgot a comma.

Answer 2

You can print the value either with:

print ("The area of your shape is: ", (a*b))

or with

print ("The area of your shape is: {}".format(a*b))
