Same Area, Different Perimeter

The video tutorial explains the concepts of perimeter and area, demonstrating how to calculate each for various shapes. It highlights that while shapes can have the same area, their perimeters can differ. The tutorial uses examples of gardens and rectangles to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the importance of understanding both area and perimeter in geometry.

How do you calculate the perimeter of a rectangular garden with a length of 14 feet and a width of 7 feet?

• Multiply the length by 2 and the width by 2, then add them

• Add the length and width

• Multiply the length by the width

• Add the length and width, then multiply by 2

If two shapes have the same area, will they always have the same perimeter?

• Only if they are the same shape

• No, not necessarily

• Yes, always

• Only if they are rectangles

What is the area of a shape with a length of 8 units and a width of 3 units?

• 20 square units

• 22 square units

• 24 square units

• 11 square units

Which of the following statements is true about the perimeter of two shapes with the same area?

• They will always have the same perimeter

• Their perimeters will be the same if they are rectangles

• Their perimeters will be different

• Their perimeters will be the same if they are squares

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 18 square centimeters and a length of 6 centimeters?

• 22 centimeters

• 18 centimeters

• 20 centimeters

• 24 centimeters
