📐 Area and Perimeter
Master the fundamentals of measuring 2D shapes! This quiz explores area (the space inside a shape) and perimeter (the distance around it). You'll practice using the rectangle area formula, counting units, adding side lengths, and solving real-world problems that compare these two key measurements. **What you'll learn:** - Define and calculate area using the formula $A = l \times w$ - Calculate perimeter by adding side lengths or counting units - Distinguish between area and perimeter in practical contexts - Solve applied problems involving rectangles and composite shapes
