Perimeter and Area : Short Question
Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape.
Area is the amount of space inside a shape. It is measured in square units.
For Rectangles: Add all the sides.
For Rectangles: Multiply the length by the width.
To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width: A = l x w.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the lengths of all four sides: P = 2l + 2w (where l is the length and w is the width).
To find the perimeter of an irregular shape, add up the lengths of all its sides.
No, the area of a shape cannot be negative. Area represents a measure of space, and it is always a non-negative value.
