Area and Perimeter

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around it, calculated as 2 times the length plus 2 times the width (P = 2L + 2W).

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width (Area = Length x Width).

Front

Back

Area is the amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape.

Front

If a rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 5 feet, what is its perimeter?

Back

The perimeter is 30 feet (P = 2(10) + 2(5) = 30).

Front

If a rectangle has a length of 4 inches and a width of 3 inches, what is its area?

Back

The area is 12 square inches (Area = 4 x 3 = 12).

Front

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 cm?

Back

The perimeter is 24 cm (P = 4 x 6 = 24).

Front

What is the area of a square with a side length of 5 m?

Back

The area is 25 square meters (Area = 5 x 5 = 25).

Front

How do you find the width of a rectangle if you know the area and the length?

Back

You can find the width by dividing the area by the length (Width = Area / Length).

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 7 m and a width of 2 m?

Back

The perimeter is 18 m (P = 2(7) + 2(2) = 18).
