Aniqua of Area and perimeter of a house

  Area and perimeter of a house 

• We are learning to find the area and perimeter of different rooms in a house. 

Area is the number of square metres in the shape.  We can work this out by multiplying the sides.  SxS= Area  2x3=6 The area of this shape is 6m2.   Perimeter is the distance around the outside of the shape.  we work this out by adding the sides together.  S+S+S+S = Perimeter.  2+3+2+3= 10m The perimeter of this shape is 10m.

	Entrance  What is the area? 2 + 2 + 2 + 2  = 8m What is the perimeter? 2 x 2 = 4m 2
	Bathroom What is the area? 4 + 4 + 2 + 2  = 12m What is the perimeter? 4 x 2 =8m 2
	Kitchen What is the area? 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 = 20m What is the perimeter? 4 x 6 = 24m 2
	Bedroom one What is the area? 3 + 5 + 3 +5 =16m What is the perimeter? 3 x 5 =15m 2
	Bedroom two What is the area? 5 + 5 + 5 + 5= 20m What is the perimeter? 5 x 5 = 25m 2
	Bedroom three What is the area? 6 + 3 + 3 + 6 = 18m What is the perimeter? 6 x 3 = 18m 2
	Living room  What is the area? 12 + 12 + 6 + 6 = 32m What is the perimeter? 12 x 6 = 72m 2
	Swimming pool  What is the area?11 + 11 + 6 + 6 = 34m  What is the perimeter? 11 x 6 =66m 2

Challenge

• Your challenge is to find the area of the whole house. You will need to add the side of the  rooms to work out the sides of the house. Remember that the pool is outside and should not be included.
