Applications of Perimeter and Area

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the perimeter and area of different shapes, such as squares and rectangles. It highlights the importance of these calculations in real-life scenarios, like fencing a garden or carpeting a floor. The tutorial differentiates between perimeter and area, emphasizing when each is applicable. It also provides formulas for calculating the perimeter and area of squares and rectangles, and discusses practical applications of these concepts.

What is the formula to calculate the perimeter of a square?

• Sum of all sides

• 4 times the length of its side

• Length times breadth

• 2 times the length of its side

If a photo frame is rectangular, how do you calculate its perimeter?

• Sum of all sides

• Length times breadth

• 2 times the sum of its length and breadth

• 4 times the length of its side

Why is calculating the perimeter not useful for carpeting a floor?

• Perimeter measures the boundary, not the entire surface

• Perimeter is the same as area

• Perimeter is too complex to calculate

• Perimeter is only for circular shapes

What is the formula for the area of a square?

• 4 times the length of its side

• Length times breadth

• Square of the length of its side

• 2 times the sum of its length and breadth

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

• 4 times the length of its side

• 2 times the sum of its length and breadth

• Square of the length of its side

• Product of its length and breadth
