Area Perimeter
The area is the product of The perimeter is twice the sum of
length and width. Area is the length and width. Perimeter is
expressed in square units. expressed in units.
Example
Let's find the area and perimeter of this basketball court.
15M Area
Area = length × width
Area = 15 m × 11 m
Area = 165 sq. cm
11M
Perimeter
Perimeter = 2 (length + width)
Perimeter = 2 (15 m + 11 m)
Perimeter = 2 (26 m)
Perimeter = 52 m
