Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle?

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula $P = 2 \times (length + breadth)$.

How do you find the perimeter of a square?

The perimeter of a square is found by using the formula $P = 4 \times length$ of its side.

Study Notes

Perimeter

  • Perimeter is the total distance around the boundary of a closed plane figure.
  • For polygons, perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides.
  • Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + width)
  • Perimeter of a square = 4 × side length
  • Perimeter of a triangle = sum of the lengths of all three sides

Area

  • Area is the amount of space enclosed by a closed figure.
  • Area is typically measured in square units.
  • Area of a rectangle = length × width
  • Area of a square = side × side
  • Area of a triangle = ½ × base × height

Relationships Between Perimeter and Area

  • Figures can have the same area but different perimeters, or the same perimeter but different areas.
  • Area can be estimated by dividing a figure into squares or rectangles and triangles.

Specific Examples and Calculations

  • Real-world examples illustrate calculating perimeter and area for rectangles, squares, and triangles, along with compound shapes (e.g., a rectangular floor with a flowerbed).
  • Calculating the area of figures broken down into smaller rectangles and triangles.
  • Estimating the area of irregular shapes using grid paper.
  • Problem-solving examples include finding missing dimensions, calculating costs of fencing, and determining the length of lace needed.
  • Examples for comparing lengths of running tracks and finding strategies to achieve a common finish line for runners by running a prescribed distance.
  • Examples on calculating perimeter for shapes with both straight and "diagonal" lines.

Tangram Puzzles

  • Tangram pieces can be used to explore relationships between areas of different shapes.
