 Area and perimeter of a house 

• We are learning to find the area and perimeter of different rooms in a house. 

Area is the number of square metres in the shape.  We can work this out by multiplying the sides.  SxS= Area  2x3=6 The area of this shape is 6m2.   Perimeter is the distance around the outside of the shape.  we work this out by adding the sides together.  S+S+S+S = Perimeter.  2+3+2+3= 10m The perimeter of this shape is 10m.
