Answer:
Perimeter = Add all of the side's lengths
Area = Multiply Length dimension and Width dimension together to get answer (different formulas for different shapes)
Explanation:
When we do perimeter, we're only taking the OUTSIDE line of the shape, we're not taking the inside body of the shape, so, to get the perimeter of a shape that has 4 sides, and the dimensions of 4 in 2 sides and 3 in 2 sides, then, we have to add like this... 4+4+3+3=14
So our perimeter of our <em>example</em> shape is 14
Now, when we are doing area, we're finding the INSIDE part of the shape, and to do that, we have to multiply. Let's take the same dimensions from our last example. If we have 4 in 2 sides and 3 in 2 sides, then we will do 4x3=12 to get our answer.
So our area of our <em>example</em> shape is 12
