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
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
4 cm
Area Formula
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
7 cm Width (w): 2 cm
Height (h):
2 cm 7 cm 2 cm
