Perimeter
The distance around a figure.
One way to find the perimeter of a figure is
to add the length of all the sides.
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle
we use a common formula.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
P= 2L + 2W
Perimeter of a Rectangle
P= 2L + 2W
2(15) + 2(4)
30 + 8
P = 38cm
L= 15 cm
W= 4cm
Your Turn
2 ft
18 ft
P= 2L + 2W
2(18) + 2(2)
36 + 4
P = 40 ft
2.4 cm
1.6 cm
P = 4s
S = side of the square
P = 4(12)
P= 48 in
12 in
Area
The measure of the surface enclosed by
the figure.
To find the area of a rectangle we use this
common formula.
A=LxW
L =18ft
W= 23 ft
Formula: A = S
Which means to multiply s x s
2
A = 11
A = 11 x 11

A = 121 in
