1. (b) perimeter — Distance around = perimeter.
2. (a) square units — Area uses square units such as cm².
3. (c) 20 cm — 4 × 5 = 20 cm.
4. (a) 28 cm² — 7 × 4 = 28 cm².
5. Add length and breadth and double the result: 2 × (length + breadth).
6. In square units, such as cm² or m².
7. Perimeter is the distance all the way around a shape's boundary and is measured in units of length, while area is the surface the shape covers and is measured in square units. For a rectangle 5 cm by 3 cm, the perimeter is 2 × (5 + 3) = 16 cm, and the area is 5 × 3 = 15 cm². The two answers describe different things — one is how far it is around, the other how much it covers — so they use different units and must not be confused.
