What is the sum of the length of all sides of a rectangle?
"4.5(D) solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole
numbers"
Learning objective:
Area is the amount of space inside a shape. Perimeter is the total distance around a shape. These two measurements help us understand the size of shapes!
Area and Perimeter
Area: The amount of surface space inside a 2-dimensional shape. Perimeter: The total length of the boundary of a 2-dimensional shape. Square: A 2-dimensional shape that has 4 equal sides and 4 equal angles.
Concepts:
The area of a circle is equal to the square of the radius multiplied by pi (3.14) The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to twice the sum of its length and width
