Perimeter is the length around the object, so it is a linear quantity. For n sided figures, you add the lengths of the n sides. Multiplication would give you units of area.
to find the perimeter you must add all sides. and to find area you have to multiply lenght and width
Multiply for the area, add for the perimeter.
Perimeter: Add the length of the four sides. Area: Multiply length x width.
The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the figure. So, simply add up ALL the sides to discover what the perimeter is.
Add All The Sides Up
You add the lengths of all sides of the shape.
to find the perimeter you must add all sides. and to find area you have to multiply lenght and width
The perimeter is the length around something, add all sides together to get the length of the perimeter.
for area you multiply length times width and for perimeter you add all of the sides together
You add the lengths of all the sides. If the sides happen to be of equal length, you multiply this length by 7.
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.
Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
Perimeter . . . add up the lengths of all three sides. Area . . . multiply (half the length of the base) by (the height).
To find the perimeter you add and to find the area we multiply.
you just take the length of it's midsegment and multiply it by its height to find area. to find it's perimeter, just add the measures of it's sides
Yes. For example, to find the perimeter of a square, add the length of the four sides.
add the sides toghther and then you'll have your perimeter of your triangle
