DRAW A RECTANGLE 3 IN LONG AND I INCH WIDE.



WHAT IS ITS PERIMETER?

Perimeter = the distance all the way around:

Perimeter = Left side + Top side + Right side + Bottom side

Perimeter =    1 inch + 3 inches +   1 inch   +   3 inches

Perimeter =  8 inches around.

WHAT IS ITS AREA?

The area = the number of square inches that it can be 
cut up into:



As we see there are 3 square inches of area.  But your teacher
probably wants you to calculate it, not just look and see, so we 
have to use the formula

square inches.
