Area and Perimeter

1. The document contains 9 math word problems involving calculations of areas and perimeters of squares, rectangles, and other geometric shapes. The problems require finding side lengths and dimensions based on given areas, calculating costs based on area, and dividing areas between different crops in a garden. 2. Key steps involve using the area formulas for squares and rectangles, setting up and solving equations based on the given information, and performing unit conversions between meters and centimeters as needed. 3. The final challenge problem asks to find the breadth of a room given its length of 10 meters and a total flooring cost of $4000 if flooring costs $50 per square meter.
