Area and Perimeter

What is the difference between area and perimeter?

• Area is the space around a shape, while perimeter is the space inside.

• Area and perimeter both refer to the space inside a shape.

• Area is the space inside a shape, while perimeter is the space around.

• There is no difference between area and perimeter.

How do you measure the area of a shape?

• By counting the number of edges.

• Using square units to measure the space inside.

• Measuring the distance around the shape.

• By adding the length and width of the shape.

What is the area of a square with each side measuring 2 square units?

• 4 square units

• 8 square units

• 2 square units

• 6 square units

How do you find the area of a rectangle using multiplication?

• Divide the length by the width

• Add the length and width

• Multiply the length times the width

• Subtract the width from the length

• The shape has four sides.

• The measurement is taken in two dimensions.

Why can't the same multiplication equation be used to find the area of circles and triangles?

• Because they are not square or rectangular.

• Because they do not have sides of equal length.

• Because they require different mathematical formulas.

• Because they are measured in cubic units.
