01 / QUICK RECAP
Connect the ideas.
- Choose a useful unit and read the scale before measuring.
- Area uses square units covering a surface; perimeter measures its boundary in length units.
- Split an irregular region into non-overlapping pieces or subtract a missing part from a larger shape.
- Include units and sensible precision. Equal perimeter does not guarantee equal area.
02 / TOPIC TEST
Put it together.
Choose a paper and show your working.
