Answer and Explanation:
Area is the measure of how large a 2-dimensional space is.
For example, a 6 × 2 grid of eggs contains 12 egg spaces.
In math, the unit for area is always a linear measurement squared (for example
,
, and
).
Perimeter is the measurement of the border of a space.
For example, the fence around a 5 × 10 ft garden can be solved for by adding up each individual side of fencing (see the attached image).
The unit for perimeter is always a linear measurement, like m, cm, or ft.
Using this knowledge, for question a, simply multiply the side lengths to get the area. Remember to use
as the unit.
For question b, the answer is perimeter, since it is measuring the border length of the model court.
For question c, the answer is area, since it is measuring the size of the model court's wooden floor.
