Calculating Perimeter and Area with Algebra Tiles

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the area and perimeter of a shape using algebra tiles. It begins with labeling the sides of the shape to determine the perimeter, addressing complex parts, and summing up the labeled sides. The tutorial then shifts to calculating the area by summing up the tiles, ensuring the results are presented in alphabetical order.

What is the first step in calculating the perimeter using algebra tiles?

• Reordering terms alphabetically

• Adding all sides together

• Labeling all sides

• Subtracting unwanted sections

When labeling sides, what value is assigned to the first side?

• x

• y

• 1

• 2

How do you handle a section of the perimeter that you do not want to include?

• Add it to the total

• Ignore it

• Subtract it from the total

• Multiply it by 2

What is the next step after labeling all sides for perimeter calculation?

• Multiply sides together

• Reorder terms alphabetically

• Subtract unwanted sections

• Add up all labeled sides

How many y's are there in the perimeter expression before reordering?

• 4

• 5

• 3

• 2

What is the final step in calculating the perimeter?

• Add all sides together

• Multiply sides together

• Subtract unwanted sections

• Reorder terms alphabetically

What is the value of the perimeter expression after reordering?

• 4x + 4y + 4

• 4y + 4x + 4

• 4x + 4 + 4y

• 4 + 4x + 4y

What is the value of the perimeter expression before reordering?

• 4 + 4x + 4y

• 4x + 4y + 4

• 4y + 4x + 4

• 4x + 4 + 4y

What is the first step in calculating the area using algebra tiles?

• Add all sides together

• Reorder terms alphabetically

• Multiply sides together

• Label all sides

How is the area of a square tile calculated?

• Multiply one side by itself

• Divide one side by another

• Add all sides together

• Subtract one side from another
