Worked example

6 cm × 4 cm → P = 20 cm; A = 24 cm²

Practise and check

Activity 1

8 cm × 3 cm: P = ?

Show step-by-step solution

P = 2(8 + 3) = 22 cm.

Activity 2

7 cm × 7 cm: A = ?

Show step-by-step solution

A = 7² = 49 cm².

Activity 3

b = 10 cm, h = 6 cm: A(△) = ?

Show step-by-step solution

A = (10 × 6) ÷ 2 = 30 cm².

Learning tip: Perimeter measures the boundary; area measures the enclosed surface.
