Finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle

The video tutorial explains how to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle. It begins by describing the properties of a rectangle, such as having opposite sides of equal length. The tutorial then details two methods for calculating the perimeter: adding all side lengths and using the formula 2 times length plus 2 times width. The area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, with an explanation of why the result is in square meters. The video concludes with a discussion on the dimensional differences between perimeter and area.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths of 3.2 meters and 1.1 meters?

• 10.2 meters

• 7.4 meters

• 9.6 meters

• 8.5 meters

Which formula is used to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

• Base times Height

• 2 times Length plus 2 times Width

• Length times Width

• Length plus Width

If a rectangle has a length of 1.1 meters and a width of 3.2 meters, what is its perimeter using the formula?

• 8.6 meters

• 7.5 meters

• 9.3 meters

• 6.8 meters

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

• 2 times Length plus 2 times Width

• Length times Width

• Base times Height

• Add all sides

Why is the area of a rectangle expressed in square units?

• Because it involves two dimensions

• Because it involves only one dimension

• Because it is a linear measurement

• Because it is a volume measurement
