Perimeter & Area Problems 5-34
Use geometric measurement to provide context for division, multiplication, and multistep word problems. If a rectangle's area is 714 and the short side is 21, what's its perimeter? Since the long side is 714÷21 = 34, the perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides, or the sum of the long and short sides, doubled. 2 x (21+34) = 110.
