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.
