Area and perimeter of a rectangle
A rectangle is drawn on a grid where each block is 1 cm². Read the length and width off the grid, then work out the area (length × width) and the perimeter (the distance all the way round).
The length and width are always different, so the shape is never a square, and both answers are needed.
