Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts - Perimeter and Area

  • Perimeter is the length of the boundary of a plane figure, measured in linear units (cm, m, etc.)
  • Area is the measure of surface enclosed by the boundary, measured in square units (cm², m², etc.)
  • Unit conversion: 1 m = 100 cm, therefore 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
2

Area and Perimeter of Triangles

  • Any side of a triangle can be considered as base, with corresponding height being perpendicular from opposite vertex
  • Area formula works with any base-height pair
  • Heron's formula is useful when all three sides are known
3

Special Triangles

  • Equilateral triangle: all sides equal, all angles 60°
  • Isosceles triangle: two sides equal, altitude from vertex bisects the base
  • Right-angled triangle: one angle 90°, area = ½ × product of perpendicular sides
4

Quadrilaterals - General Properties

  • Area using diagonal method: ½ × diagonal × sum of perpendiculars from other vertices
  • When diagonals intersect at right angles: Area = ½ × product of diagonals
  • Different quadrilaterals have specific formulas based on their properties
