Area & perimeter needs on

The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter you have to add all the lengths of all four( or so) sides.

          Say that this (OOO) is a box

There is y, and x. Finding both sides will get you the perimeter
Example =

(OOO)x
  y

You would have to add both sides of the box to get your answer

it would be

                              y
                          x(OOO)x
                               y

Now, the area is the measurement of the surface of a shape. To find the area of a shape with four( or more) sides, you = Multiply the length and the width of a shape with four(or more) sides.

So, imagine this (OOO) is a box

    4
4(OOO)4
    4

I hope I could help! :)

Have a wonderful rest of the day.
