the perimeter is how long the surrounding of the shape is for example if a side of a square is 1 and there are 4 sides the perimeter would be 4
4x1=4
the area is how much space a shape takes up so if the sides of a square are 2
the area would be 4squared
2x2=4
formulas for a square
A=BxH
P=length of sides added up
An area is the length times the width and perimeter is the sum of all the sides added together.
The area is the square surface and the perimeter is the total distance around the surface.
By multiplying length times width
The area is found.
Perimeter is the sum of sides
The distance all around.
