The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter you have to add all the lengths of all four( or so) sides.
Say that this (OOO) is a box
There is y, and x. Finding both sides will get you the perimeter
Example =
(OOO)x
y
You would have to add both sides of the box to get your answer
it would be
y
x(OOO)x
y
Now, the area is the measurement of the surface of a shape. To find the area of a shape with four( or more) sides, you = Multiply the length and the width of a shape with four(or more) sides.
So, imagine this (OOO) is a box
4
4(OOO)4
4
I hope I could help! :)
Have a wonderful rest of the day.
