Square and Rectangle Properties

Area of a square: ( A = s^2 ) where ( s ) is the side length.
Side length can be calculated if area is known: ( s = \sqrt{A} ).
Perimeter of a square: ( P = 4s ).
Area of a rectangle: ( A = l \times w ) where ( l ) is the length and ( w ) is the width.
Perimeter of a rectangle: ( P = 2(l + w) ).

Calculating Rectangle Dimensions

If area and length are provided, width can be calculated: ( w = \frac{A}{l} ).
For a rectangle with length and width, area is computed as ( lw ).

Properties of Triangles

Similar triangles maintain proportional relationships between corresponding sides and perimeters.
If the perimeters of similar triangles have a ratio ( r ), then ( P_{DEF} = r \times P_{ABC} ).

Volume of Right Rectangular Prism

Volume formula: ( V = l \times w \times h ) where ( l ), ( w ), and ( h ) are the dimensions of the prism.

Measurement Units

Areas calculated in square units (e.g., square inches, square centimeters).
Volumes calculated in cubic units (e.g., cubic centimeters).
