Brief overview What is area? the extent or measurement of a surface or piece of land. We find area by multiplying base times height

What about perimeter Perimeter is the continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometric figure. (The length of the “wall” around an object) How do we find perimeter? Simply add up all the sides of the object

What is the difference? Area is what is inside the shape Perimeter is the outside “wall” of the shape
