Although considered part of measurement, our math book focuses separately on Perimeter and Area.
The distance around the outside of a figure or shape is its perimeter.
A square with a side length of one unit is called a unit square.
A unit square has one square unit of area and can be used to measure area. Area is the number of square units needed to cover a figure without overlapping.
You can also find the area of a figure by multiply its length times its width:
Area = Length x Width
