Answer:

Lan:

A local area network is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building. By contrast, a wide area network not only covers a larger geographic distance, but also generally involves leased telecommunication circuits.

For example, if you connect a printer to a machine on your network and use your computer's software to share the printer, the printer is not really a LAN device since it is not directly connected to the LAN. It will then be part of the LAN if you attach a Wi-Fi adapter or connect an Ethernet cable to the same printer.

Wan :

A wide area network is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area for the primary purpose of computer networking. Wide area networks are often established with leased telecommunication circuits.

For example, internet.
