AREA AND PERIMETER

Area

Area measures the space within an object.

Formal units for measuring area

mm²= millimetres squared

m² = metres squared

cm² = centimetres squared

km² = kilometres squared

Formula for measuring area

Area = Length x Width

A = L X W

Perimeter

Perimeter measures the length around an object.

Formula for measuring perimeter

Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width

P = (L + L) + (W + W)

CAPACITY
