For perimeter of a polygon do you times the sides?
For the perimeter of a polygon you add the sides to find the total distance around the shape. For area, you multiply using the various formulas for different polygons.
How do you find the area of a shape with a shape inside of it?
You would find the area of the inside and outside shape (pretending that the inside shape was not in the outside shape). then, you would take the area of the outside shape and subtract the area of the inside shape.
How would you find the area of a shape?
Shape of what ?
How do you find area of irregular shape?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
How do you find the area of a random shape?
Such as? If you can break the shape up into triangles you can find the area that way. Or, you can get into calculus-based equations if you have an equation for the random shape.
Why is it important to find the perimeter of a shape?
To find the distance around the shape
How do you find the distance around a figure?
To find the distance around a figure, you calculate the perimeter. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape or figure. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square, you add up all the sides. For a circle, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the diameter by π (pi).
What is the difference between the perimeter and the area of a shape?
The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside, for instance, the length of all the sides of a square added together. The area however, is the amount of space within the shape, for example, to find the area of a square, you would simply multiply the length of the side by length of the side.
How do you find the area if you have the distance?
Question should specify "what distance" and the shape. If the path is a straight line 10m long, and back again to zero the area is zero. If the path is from A to B there is no area to measure.

How would you find the area of a shape?
Shape of what ?
Do you add or multiply to find the perimeter?
The perimeter is the length around something, add all sides together to get the length of the perimeter.
How do you find area of irregular shape?
To find the area, first divide the shape into regular, simple shapes. Then use formulas to find the area of the smaller, regular shapes. Lastly, add up all the smaller areas to find the area of the original shape.
How do you find the area of a random shape?
Such as? If you can break the shape up into triangles you can find the area that way. Or, you can get into calculus-based equations if you have an equation for the random shape.
How do you find the area if a shape that has uneven sides and different measurements?
Fill in the blanks so that the shape makes a square and find the area of that. Then find the area of the shape you added. When you have both areas, subtract the greater from the smaller.
How do you find the area of a 2D shape?
You times the length by width, to get the area of the 2D shape.
