Front

What is measurement?

Back

Measurement is the process of determining the size, length, or amount of something, typically using standard units.

Front

What are standard units of measurement?

Back

Standard units of measurement are established quantities used to measure physical properties, such as meters for length, liters for volume, and grams for mass.

Front

What is the difference between length and width?

Back

Length is the measurement of something from end to end, while width is the measurement of something from side to side.

Front

What is perimeter?

Back

Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape.

Front

How do you calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of all four sides or use the formula: P = 2(length + width).

Front

What is area?

Back

Area is the amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape, measured in square units.

Front

How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?

Back

To calculate the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width: A = length × width.

Front

What is volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object, measured in cubic units.

Front

How do you calculate the volume of a rectangular prism?

Back

To calculate the volume of a rectangular prism, multiply the length, width, and height: V = length × width × height.
