They help you to quantify physical space and also provide a foundation for more advanced mathematics. Perimeter is a measurement of the distance around a shape and area gives us an idea of how much surface the shape covers. Understanding how much space you have and learning how to fit shapes together exactly will help you when you paint a room, buy a home, remodel a kitchen, or build a deck.
