What is the relationship between the perimeter and area of a shape?

Back

The perimeter is the total distance around a shape, while the area is the amount of space inside the shape; they are related but measure different properties.

Front

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 50 inches and one side is 15 inches, what is the length of the other side?

Back

The other side is 10 inches (P = 2(length + width) => 50 = 2(15 + width) => width = 10).
