Introduction to Area and Perimeter

Basically, perimeter is the total distance around the edges of the figure and area is the space taken up by a flat or curved surface. In perimeter, shapes of different perimeters can enclose the same area. Conversely, shapes with the same perimeter can enclose area of different sizes.I will show u examples of them later.
