Area, Perimeter, and Volume Real World Examples by Courtney Harrison

An example of area is for example: if you want to measure a room, then you would measure the 2 perpendicular sides to get the area ( The room is a rectangle room). If one of the two sides were 10 feet, and the other is twelve then the area would be 120.

Lets say you want to measure the area in square feet of your backyard. You will need to know the width and the length. To find area you have to MULTIPLY. For example the LENGTH of you backyard is 12 feet and the WIDTH is 5, how many square feet is your backyard? 5 multiplied by 12 equals 60. So the area of your backyard is 60 square feet.

Area is the space inside a room or physical place etc. etc. for example if a room had the width of 61 feet and 32 width we would use basic multiplication, first lets start with multiplying 61x2 its 122 we would then multiply that by 3 so 122x3 is 366

Arsh.A

2022-04-21 14:15:03 UTC

If you need to find the area of a room. You can multiply the length and width to find the inside box of area. Example would be that a rugs length is 10 and the width is 15 you would multiply the two numbers to get the area of the rug. 15*10=150
The area of the rug is 150 units.

So, an example of area. Let's say you are an interior designer (yes this relates to what we're doing in art). You need to figure out the area of the room so you can put the right size furniture in there. Or maybe you want to paint a wall a certain color. You need to figure out the area of the wall so you know how much paint to use in advance. (To be honest, my first example is better.)

Well, if your dream job is an architect, and you want to design buildings, you'll have to measure how big you want the building your designing to be. That's a very important job for city designing.
