Question

- What is the difference between area and perimeter?​

Answer 1

Perimeter is a length of a figure's borders.

Pabc = a+b+c

Area shows the 'size' of the figure.

Sabc = 1/2*a*b*Sin(alpha) or 1/2*a*h or sqrt((half perimeter * a)(half perimeter * b)(half perimeter * c))

Answer 2

Area is the amount of surface that a shape covers. Area is measured in square units and it’s a very important math concept.

Perimeter is the distance around a figure. When I think of the word perimeter, I think of the word “rim” which is the outside of something like a basketball hoop.
