Area & Perimeter
Overview: This part of the website will help you with area and perimeter.
-To find area you take one of the measurements and multiply it by another measurement. After you multiply them together you get the area.
-To find the perimeter you take both measurments and add them to the same measurment. At the end you add both of the sums, add them together, and that's how you find perimeter.
Perimeter:
The length of two sides of the rectangle are 7" and 4". What is the perimeter?
4+4=8in
7+7=14in
14+8= 22in
P=22in
Area:
Like the example above 4in. and 7in. are the means. What is the area? A=28in
4x7= 28in
