Answer:
Explanation:
- The first dimension to measure is length. Length is always the longest side of the box that has a flap. The next dimension is width. The width side also has a flap but is always the side shorter than the length. Measure the height of the package. Height is the only dimension without a flap.
- Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it can simply be the length of one side squared. If a square has one side of 4 inches, the area would be 4 inches times 4 inches, or 16 square inches. (Square inches can also be written in2.)
Perimeter of the rectangle = PQ + QR + RS + SP
= b +l + b + l
= 2b +2l
Again,
ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
AB = CD = 5 cm and BC = AD = 3 cm
So, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 5 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 16 cm
It can be written as 5 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
= (2 × 5) cm + (2 × 3) cm
= 2 (5 + 3) cm
= 2 × 8 cm
= 16 cm
We add length and breadth twice to find the perimeter of a rectangle.
