Area and Perimeter PowerPoint

This document discusses area and perimeter. It provides examples of calculating the area and perimeter of different shapes by counting squares or sides. Area is measured in square units and represents the surface space of a flat object. Perimeter is the distance around the outside edge and is measured in linear units. Two examples show calculating the area and perimeter of swimming pools to determine which family's pool has the larger area and which has more perimeter to clean.

Area is the amount of surface

space that a flat object has.


Area is reported in the
amount of square units.
When you measure the
amount of carpet to cover
the floor of a room, you
measure it in square units.

Would the area of your


bedroom or the area of
your house be greater?

You’re right! The area


of your house is greater
than the area of your
bedroom.
Lets find the area of this surface if each
square is equal to one foot.
Count the number of squares.

Area = 15 square feet

Try this one! Count the
number of
green
squares to
determine
1 2 3 the area of
this surface.
What is the
4 5 6 area?

7 8 9 The area is
equal to 9
square units.
Perimeter is the distance around the
outside edge of a flat object.

Perimeter is reported as a total


number of linear units.
When you measure the
amount of wallpaper border
to go around a room, you
measure it in lengths.

Would the perimeter of


your bedroom or the
perimeter of your house
be greater?

You’re right! The perimeter


of your house is greater
than the perimeter of your
bedroom.
Let’s find the perimeter of this surface if each
square is equal to one foot.
Count the number of sides.

Perimeter = 24 feet
Try this one!
Count the
number of
sides to
determine the
perimeter of
this flat
object.

The
perimeter is
equal to 12.
Let’s do these problems together.

Two neighbors build swimming pools.


This is what the pools look like.
Which family has the pool with the
bigger swimming area?

Family A

Family B
The area of Family A’s pool is? 8 square units.
The area of Family B’s pool is? 7 square units

Therefore, Family A has the pool with


the bigger swimming area.

Family A

Family B
Now look at those same two pools. Which family
has more side panels of the pool to clean?
The perimeter of Family A’s pool is 12 units long.
The perimeter of Family B’s pool is 14 units long.

Therefore, Family B has more side


panels of the pool to clean.

Family A

Family B
