Area and Perimeter

This document provides information about calculating the perimeters and areas of different shapes. It defines perimeter as adding up all the outside measurements of an object or space. It then gives the formulas for finding the areas of rectangles, squares, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. Several practice problems are provided for students to calculate the perimeters and areas of examples of each shape using the appropriate formulas.
