AREA AND
PERIMETER OF
RECTANGLE
AREA
The area of a figure measures the size of the
region enclosed by the figure. This is usually
expressed in terms of some square unit. A few
examples of the units used are square meters,
square centimeters, square inches, or square
kilometers.
PERIMETER
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the
lengths of all its sides.
RECTANGLE
Rectangle, quadrilateral (four-sided plane
figure) with opposite sides equal and parallel
and with each interior angle a right angle
(90°). Its area A is the product of the length l
and height h; that is, A = l x h. A rectangle
with four equal sides is a square. The
diagonals of a rectangle are equal and bisect
each other.
FIGURE OF
RECTANGLE
Area of a
Rectangle
The area of a rectangle is the product of its
width and length. This color shows the area of
rectangle.
Example 1:
What is the area of a rectangle having a length of
6 and a width of 2.2?
SOLUTION
The area is the product of these two side lengths,
which is
6 × 2.2 = 13.2.
Example 2:
What is the area of a rectangle having a length of
9 and a width of 7.2?
SOLUTION
The area is the product of these two side lengths,
which is
9 × 7.2 = 64.8.
PERIMETER OF
RECTANGLE
The perimeter is the distance around a closed
plane figure. The perimeter, P, of a rectangle is
given by the formula P = 2(l + w) where l is the
length and w is the width of the rectangle.
EXAMPLE 1:
What is the perimeter of a rectangle having
side-lengths of 3.4 m and 8.2 m?
SOLUTION
Since a rectangle has 4 sides, and the opposite
sides of a rectangle have the same length, a
rectangle has 2 sides of length 3.4 m, and 2
sides of length 8.2 m. The sum of the lengths
of all the sides of the rectangle is

3.4 + 3.4 + 8.2 + 8.2 = 23.2 m.


EXAMPLE 2:
Find the perimeter of a rectangular field of
length 45 m and width 35 m.
SOLUTION
• So, the perimeter is 160 m.
