Question 249480


DRAW A RECTANGLE 3 IN LONG AND I INCH WIDE.
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
{{{drawing(400,240,-1, 4, -1,2, locate(-.7,.5,1_inch),
locate(1,1.2,3inches),locate(1,-.1,3inches), locate(3,.6,1_inch),
rectangle(0,0,3,1) )}}}
</pre></font></b>
WHAT IS ITS PERIMETER?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
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.
</pre></font></b>
WHAT IS ITS AREA?
<pre><font size = 4 color = "indigo"><b>
The area = the number of square inches that it can be 
cut up into:

{{{drawing(400,240,-1, 4, -1,2,
rectangle(0,0,1,1), rectangle(1,0,2,1), rectangle(2,0,3,1)
 )}}}

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

{{{A = (length)*(width)= (3)*(1)=3}}}square inches.
