When do you use area and perimeter in real situations?

Answer 1

You use area to figure out how much you need to order in supplies when you want to carpet a floor, paint a room, build a deck, seed a new lawn, water a cornfield, or make a tarp for the school's Baseball field or a quilt for your bed.

You also need to know the area to figure out how long it will take you and how much

you should charge, to harvest the cornfield or mow a big lawn.

If you want to install new baseboard trim around the floor in your room, or build a

fence around the cornfield, then you need the perimeter before you can buy your

supplies.

Answer 2

Land for farming and erecting buildings etc.,
