Overview

This chapter introduces students to the fundamental concepts of measuring plane figures through perimeter and area calculations. Perimeter refers to the total length of the boundary of a shape, while area measures the surface enclosed within that boundary. These concepts are essential for solving re

Key Concepts

Perimeter is the length of boundary

Perimeter is the length of boundary measured in linear units (cm, m). Area is the surface enclosed by boundary measured in square units (cm², m²). Imp

Area = ½ × base ×

Area = ½ × base × height for any triangle. Heron's formula: Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where s = (a+b+c)/2. Special triangles: Equilateral (Area = (√3

Rectangle

Rectangle: Area = l×b, Perimeter = 2(l+b). Square: Area = a², Perimeter = 4a. Parallelogram: Area = base × height. Rhombus: Area = ½ × d₁ × d₂. Trapez

Circumference = 2πr = πd where

Circumference = 2πr = πd where r is radius and d is diameter. Area = πr². The ratio of circumference to diameter is constant π ≈ 22/7 ≈ 3.14 for all c

Length

Length: 1 m = 100 cm. Area: 1 m² = 10,000 cm². When converting areas, multiply the conversion factor twice (100 × 100 = 10,000).
