Why does the perimeter change when you add tiles?
If you are adding tiles to any side of a figure, then you are increasing its total surfgace area and, of course, the distance around the figure ( perimeter) is also increased.
Is the volume the perimeter or the area?
Neither. -- Perimeter = the distance all the way around it. -- Area = how much of the floor it covers. -- Volume = how much water it can hold.
A square room has a perimeter of 32 feet How many floor tiles 1 foot on a side are needed to cover the floor of the room?
To find the number of floor tiles needed to cover the floor of the square room, we first calculate the area of the room. Since the perimeter of the square room is 32 feet and all four sides are equal in length, each side measures 8 feet (32 feet ÷ 4). The area of the room is then 8 feet x 8 feet = 64 square feet. Since each floor tile is 1 foot on a side, you would need 64 floor tiles to cover the entire floor of the room.
When you want to carpet the entire floor is that perimeter or area?
That is the area. The perimeter is the measure around something, and it is relevant, among other things, to know how much fencing you need for a lot.
What is the difference between a perimetre and area?
Perimeter = the distance around the edge of the field; how much fence it takes to enclose the field. Area = how much land-surface the field covers, i.e. how many corn-stalks can be planted on it. ================================= Perimeter: the distance around the edge of the floor in the room. Area: how much carpet it takes to cover the floor.
