Meet Richie the Rectangle!

Width (w)
Hey Kids! My
Height (h)

name is Richie,
and I am
rectangle. I am
made up of width
and height.
Perimeter Formula

Let’s try it!


Perimeter(P) = sum of all sides

Also looks like…

P= s + s + s + s

P= w+ w+ h+ h
Plug It In!

5 cm

Perimeter (P)= s + s + s + s
3 cm 3 cm
P= 3 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 5 cm

P= 16 cm *** Don’t forget units!


5 cm
Perimeter Practice

Can you help


me find my Perimeter (P)= s + s + s + s
perimeter?
P = 4 cm + 4cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
4 cm
14 cm
SOLUTION
P=
3 cm 3 cm

4 cm
Area Formula

Area (A) = width (w) x height (h)

To find area we
must MULTIPLE
the width and the
height.
Identify It! Multiple It!

5 cm Width (w): 5 cm
Height (h): 3 cm

Area (A)= width x height


3 cm
A= 5 cm x 3 cm
A= 15 cm2
5 cm
*** When finding the area, the solution will be squared.
This is because we also multiplied the units
Area Practice

I am confused! Will Area (A) = width (w) x height


you help me find my
area?
(h)
7 cm

7 cm Width (w): 2 cm
Height (h):
2 cm 7 cm 2 cm
2 cm
A= x
