PERIMETER and AREA
Perimeter: The distance around the outside of a polygon; Add up all the side lengths of a shape; Measured in metric units (feet, inches, meters, kilometers, yards, etc.)
Area: The amount of surface a figure covers; 2-dimensional shapes; Measured in metric units squared (feet squared, inches squared, centimeters squared, etc.)

Area of a Polygon
Area equations generally focus on the length of the polygon's sides and involve multiplying 2 dimensions together.
Rectangles and Squares: length x width ( l x w )
Parallelograms: base x height ( b x h )
Triangles: 1/2 x base x height ( 0.5 x b x h )
