Area and Perimeter

AREA and PERIMETER

Let’s look at a square block that represents 1 square unit of area. Each side of the square is 1 unit long. To find the perimeter, we add all the sides: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 units So, the perimeter is 4 units, and the area is 1 square unit. Even though both are about size, area and perimeter measure different things. One is about covering, the other is about surrounding.
