Step-by-step solution for: 3rd Grade Perimeter and Area Worksheet | Educational Resource
Problem Overview:
The task involves calculating the perimeter and area of six rectangles. The formulas provided are:
- Area (A): \( A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \)
- Perimeter (P): \( P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) \)
We will solve each rectangle step by step.

Rectangle 1:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 11 inches
- Width = 8 inches
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 11 \times 8 = 88 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (11 + 8) = 2 \times 19 = 38 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 88 square inches
- Perimeter: 38 inches

Rectangle 2:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 10 inches
- Width = 7 inches
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \times 7 = 70 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (10 + 7) = 2 \times 17 = 34 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 70 square inches
- Perimeter: 34 inches

Rectangle 3:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 10 inches
- Width = 8 inches
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \times 8 = 80 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (10 + 8) = 2 \times 18 = 36 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 80 square inches
- Perimeter: 36 inches

Rectangle 4:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 9 inches
- Width = 6 inches
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 9 \times 6 = 54 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (9 + 6) = 2 \times 15 = 30 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 54 square inches
- Perimeter: 30 inches
---
Rectangle 5:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 9 inches
- Width = 7 inches
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 9 \times 7 = 63 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (9 + 7) = 2 \times 16 = 32 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 63 square inches
- Perimeter: 32 inches
---
Rectangle 6:
#### Dimensions:
- Length = 10 inches
- Width = 10 inches (This is a square)
#### Area:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 \times 10 = 100 \, \text{square inches}
\]
#### Perimeter:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2 \times (10 + 10) = 2 \times 20 = 40 \, \text{inches}
\]
#### Answer:
- Area: 100 square inches
- Perimeter: 40 inches
---
