If we assume that the house has 2 floors, we separately measure the area of the first area and second floors. The area of the house can be divided into rectangles. The area of each floor of the house is equal to the sum of the areas of the rectangles that make it up. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of 2 of its perpendicular sides.As for the perimeter, to calculate it you need to add the length of each side.

Of course, the area and perimeter of the house are utilized to calculate how much it will cost to repair, for example.
