Finding Area of Various Shapes

This video tutorial introduces the concept of area, explaining how it differs from perimeter. It demonstrates how to find the area of squares, rectangles, and irregular shapes using square units and multiplication. The video concludes with practical tips and examples, emphasizing that area is always measured in squared units.

What is the main difference between area and perimeter?

• Area and perimeter are the same.

• Area is the space around a shape, while perimeter is the space inside it.

• Area is measured in meters, while perimeter is measured in feet.

• Area is the space inside a shape, while perimeter is the space around it.

How do you find the area of a square using square units?

• Measure the perimeter and divide by four.

• Add the length and width.

• Count the number of square units inside the square.

• Multiply the length by the width.

What is the area of a rectangle with 5 square units?

• 20 square units

• 15 square units

• 5 square units

• 10 square units

How can you find the area of an irregular shape?

• By adding the length and width.

• By counting the square units inside the shape.

• By measuring the perimeter.
