Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between perimeter and area?
Perimeter is the outer boundary length around a shape, while area is the total space occupied inside that boundary.
How do I find the area of a shape using graph paper?
Count the number of full squares (1 unit each) and half squares inside the shape, then add them up to get the total area.
Why do we use square units for measuring area?
We use square units because a square is the standard shape used to tile and measure flat surfaces without any gaps.
