 What is a perimeter?

The perimeter of a shape is defined as the

total length of its boundary.
The unit is cm or m.
Perimeter of a Square= 4*(Side)

Perimeter of a Rectangle= l+l+b+b

 What is a Area?

Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat

(2-D) surface or shape of an object. It is written in
square units(cm2 or m2).
Area of a rectangle= l*b

l= length
b=breadth
 Measurements of the wall Measurements of the door
Height of the wall(h) = 8m Height of the door = 6m
Breadth of the wall(b) = 10m Breadth of the door = 2m
