Use a formula to solve the problem. Tom wanted to put new tile on his laundry room floor. His laundry room was 6 feet long and 5 feet wide. How many square feet of tile will he need? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: Hannah painted a sign advertising her lemonade stand. She painted a yellow border around the edges of her sign. Her sign was 11 inches long and 14 inches wide. How many inches was her border? What is the problem asking about?

Directions: For each question, choose whether the problem is asking about area or perimeter, and circle the appropriate word. Tell how you knew whether it was area or perimeter. Use a formula to solve the problem. Cara skated all over her driveway. Her driveway was 20 feet long and 15 feet wide. How many square feet did Cara have to skate? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: Layla bought a big painting for her house.

Answer Key Directions: For each question, choose whether the problem is asking about area or perimeter, and circle the appropriate word. Tell how you knew whether it was area or perimeter. Use a formula to solve the problem. Tom wanted to put new tile on his laundry room floor. His laundry room was 6 feet long and 5 feet wide. How many square feet of tile will he need? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? Tile goes in the middle of the room, not along the edges. Area is the middle of the room. Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: A = lw A : 6 x 5 = 30 square feet Hannah painted a sign advertising her lemonade stand. She painted a yellow border around the edges of her sign. Her sign was 11 inches long and 14 inches wide. How many inches was her border? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? The problem says “border” and “around the edges’” which means it’s talking about perimeter. Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: P = 2l + 2w P: (2 x 11) + (2 x 14) = 50 inches

Answer Key Directions: For each question, choose whether the problem is asking about area or perimeter, and circle the appropriate word. Tell how you knew whether it was area or perimeter. Use a formula to solve the problem. Cara was skated all over her driveway. Her driveway was 20 feet long and 15 feet wide. How many square feet did Cara have to skate? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? Cara skated in the inside of her driveway, not just around the edges. Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: A = lw A : 20 x 15 = 300 square feet Layla bought a big painting for her house. She built a wooden frame to go around the painting. The painting was 2 yards long and 1 yard wide. How many yards was the frame she made? What is the problem asking about? Area or Perimeter How do you know? The frame goes around the painting, not in the inside of the painting. Perimeter goes around, just like the frame. Use the appropriate formula to solve the problem: P = 2l + 2w P: (2 x 2) + (2 x 1) = 6 yards
