More on Finding Area and Perimeter

We used the formulas for area and perimeter to solve more problems related to triangles and rectangles. We practiced following this format:
a.) Write the formula for the situation.
b.) Substitute in the values given for the variables in the equation.
c.) Simplify and combine like terms.
d.) Solve for the remaining variable
e.) Check to see that the answer has a label, and that it makes sense.
