2. A fence around a yard

3. paint for a wall.

4. ribbon to wrap around a large box.

Answer 1

1. area - covering a surface
2. per - going around something
3. area - covering a surface
4. per - going around something

Answer 2

Area is covering an entire surface, and perimeter is the distance around. So... 1 and 3 are area, and 2 and 4 are perimeter

Answer 3

1:area
2:perimeter
3:area
4:perimeter

to fence the yard and wrap the box with ribbon you only need to know how much fence and ribbon you need to go around (perimeter is the area around something) and to tile the kitchen floor and paint the wall you need to know exactly how much space is in the kitchen and on the wall because the tiles and the paint have to cover the entire kitchen floor and the entire wall. understand?
