Simply put: To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, for example, you add the lengths of all four sides together. To calculate the area, you multiply the length of one of the longer sides by the length of one of the shorter sides. 🙂

Once you have completed the worksheet, consolidate your learning here: Area of rectanges consolidation
