In the first segment of the lesson ‘Perimeter and Area’ we will learn about Area, Perimeter, and
how to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle.
What is Area?
Area is the total region enclosed by a closed figure.
What is Perimeter?
Perimeter is defined as the total length around a closed figure. The total sum of the lengths of the sides of a closed geometrical shape gives us its perimeter.
What is the Perimeter of a rectangle?

The perimeter of the rectangle = L + B + L + B
= 2L + 2B
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + B) For example,
