Finding the Perimeter and Area of Squares and Rectangles

How do we solve for Perimeter?  

• length x width
• L x W
• Add all the sides
• add then multiply by 4

How do we solve for AREA of a rectangle?  

• multiply side times 6
• Length x width
• cannot solve, there are no numbers
• add all the sides together

If you are finding the distance around an object, what are you solving for?  

• Area
• Volume
• Plus and Minus
• Perimeter

What did I do wrong when solving for perimeter?
Length:  7 cm
Width:  4 cm
7 x 4 = 28 squared cm

• your answer should be 28 cm
• you multiplied, you should add 7 + 7 + 4 + 4
• you solved for perimeter
• you should multiply 4 x 7
