Barbara has a rectangle shaped mouse pad. The longest side is 8 inches and the shortest side is 3 inches. What is the perimeter and area of the mouse pad
What you want for the area is on side (8) times the other side (3).
Meaning:
8*3=24
What you want to for the perimeter is all of the sides of the rectangle added up.
Meaning,
8+8+3+3=22 the perimeter is 22
Therefore the Area=24 and the Perimeter=22
