What to Focus On

  • Perimeter means the distance around a closed figure.
  • For a polygon, perimeter is the sum of all its side lengths.
  • Rectangle perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth).
  • Perimeter helps measure things like fencing, tape, lace, and running distance.
  • A square park with side 75 m has perimeter 300 m.
  • Three rounds of that park give 900 m.
  • Area means the amount of region enclosed by a closed figure.
  • Area is measured in square units.
  • Rectangle area = length × width.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perimeter and area mean the same thing.

The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding only two sides: length + breadth.

The perimeter of a square is 2 × side because only two different measurements are needed.
