What is the difference between the perimeter and the area?

Answer 1

Area is how much space is in a object or place can obtain. perimeters is is the distance around an object or place.

Area is the space inside the object. Perimeter is the distance around the outside of the object. Formulas are as follows: A=LW for Area and P=2L +2W for Perimeter
Area is the object in the inside and the perimeter is the distance outside the object. the area would be lenghth times width. the perimeter is 1 lenghth + 1width+ the other length+ the other width

P.S. For all of you that are lazy this is easy!!!

Answer 2

The difference between a perimeter and an area is the area is how much space is inside of a surface or a two dimensional object while the perimeter is the distance around a surface or a two dimensional object.

Answer 3

Area is the space inside the figure. Perimeter is the distance around it. For rectangles:

By multiplying length times width

The area is found.

Perimeter is the sum of sides

The distance all around.

Answer 4

area is the size of a surface, and is a squared dimension ; perimeter is the total length dimesion around the surface. For example if a square is 2 inches on a side its area is2 x 2 = 4 square inches while its perimeter is 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 inches

Answer 5

The area is everything inside of a shape. Eg. the area (inside) a square or the area in a room.

The perimeter is the outside edge. Eg. the edge of the square or the walls of a room.

Answer 6

AREA:lenght times width

PERIMETER:lenght times width times lenght times width
