Rectangle Area and Perimeter Concepts

This video tutorial covers fourth-grade module three, lesson one, focusing on the formulas for calculating the area and perimeter of rectangles. It explains different methods to derive perimeter formulas and emphasizes understanding the concept of perimeter as the distance around a shape. The lesson also covers the area as the number of square units inside a rectangle, using multiplication. Various problem-solving techniques are demonstrated, including finding unknown lengths using logic and exploring different combinations to meet specific area and perimeter conditions.

Which formula represents the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W?

• L - W

• L + W

• 2L + 2W

• L x W

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

• L - W

• L + W
