Perimeter - the distance around a figure
6 cm
4 cm4 cm
You can find the perimeter of any polygon by adding the lengths of all its sides.
4 cm + 4 cm + 6 cm = 14 cm
Perimeter = 14 cm
Find the perimeter.

3 cm + 10 cm + 1 cm + 4 cm + 4 cm + 1 cm + 10 cm = 33 cm
Perimeter = 33 cm
You can find the perimeter of a regular polygon by multiplying the length of one side by the number of sides.
7 cm
7 cm x 6 = 42 cm
Perimeter = 42 cm
6 cm
6 cm x 5 = 30 cm
Perimeter = 30 cm
12 mm 8 cm
12 mm x 3 = 36 mm 8 cm x 4 = 32 cm
Remember: a regular polygon has equal sides and equal angles
Perimeter = 36 mm Perimeter = 32 mm
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle equals 2 times the sum of the length (l) and the width (w).
P = 2 x (l + w)10 cm
5 cmP = 2 x (10 + 5)P = 2 x 15P = 30 cm
l = 10 cm w = 5 cm
Area - measure of the surface of a region in square units. Examples of Units Square Units
mm mm x mm = mm2
cm cm x cm = cm2
m m x m = m2
in in x in = in2
ft ft x ft = ft2
yd yd x yd = yd2
You can use this formula to find the area of a rectangle.
Area = length x width
A = l x w
10 cm length (l)
5 cm width (w)A = 10 cm x 5 cm
A = 50 cm2
The area is 50 cm2.
There is a special formula for the area of a square.
A = s x s = s2
A = s2
A = 5 cm x 5 cm = 52 cm2
A = 25 cm2
(s = side)
5 cm
5 cm
The area is 25 cm2.
You can use the base and height to find the area of a right triangle.
A = 1/2 x (b x h)
A = 1/2 x (6 x 4)
A = 1/2 x (24)
A = 12 in2
Remember: solve inside the parenthesis first
height (h) 4 in
base (b) 6 in
Math Tip: The height is always perpendicular to the base.
The area is 12 in2.
You can use the formula A = 1/2 x (b x h) to find the area of any triangle.
Math Tip: The height is always perpendicular to the base.
base (b) 4 cm
height (h) 10 cm
A = 1/2 x (b x h)
A = 1/2 x (4 x 10)
A = 1/2 x (40)
A = 20 cm2
The area is 20 cm2.
You can use a formula to find the area of any parallelogram.

You can use this formula to find the area of a parallelogram:
base (b) 12 ft
A = b x hA = 12 ft x 5 ftA = 60 ft2
Area of rectangle APMD:
A = 12 ft x 5 ftA = 60 ft2
