if the house is a square or rectangle then you need only measure two adjoining sides, you can them multiply these together to get the area, or add the two distances together and then times 2 for the perimeter
When you are buying a house you will want to know how much you land you have (area) and you will also want know how much fencing you need for you garden (perimeter).
-- If you use the house to store a truckload of siding inside, then it's volume. -- If you cover the outside of the house with siding, then it's surface area. -- If you lay pieces of siding on the ground all around the foundation, then it's perimeter.
Perimeter = 4*Side so that Side = Perimeter/4 Area of a rhombus = Side * Altitude so Altitude = Area/Side = Area/(Perimeter/4) = 4*Area/Perimeter
If you wanted to redecorate your house, you would need to know how much carpet, paint or wallpaper you would need - you would use area and perimeter to work this out.
