Study Notes
Perimeter and Area Calculations
- The perimeter is calculated by summing all sides of the figure.
- The area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width of the figure.
- Perimeter is measured in units, while area is measured in squared units.
Conversions
- 1 km = 1000 m
- 1 m = 100 cm
- 1 cm = 10 mm
- 1 kg = 1000 g
- 1 g = 100 cg
- 1 cg = 10 mg
Other Conversions
- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters
- 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
- 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
- 1 yard = 0.9144 meters
Rates
- Rates are expressed as ratios.
- Ratios can be simplified to their lowest terms by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
Measuring Tools
- Measuring tapes are used to measure length.
- The units on a measuring tape can be inches or centimeters.
Metric Units
- The metric system is a decimal system of measurement based on the meter, kilogram, and liter.
- Kilometers (km) are used for measuring long distances.
- Millimeters (mm) are used for measuring small lengths.
- Meters (m) are used for measuring medium lengths.
Appropriate Units
- The appropriate unit of measurement for a particular quantity depends on the size of the quantity.
- For example, the height of a mountain would be measured in kilometers, while the height of a glue stick would be measured in centimeters.
Volume
- Volume is the amount of space a three-dimensional object occupies.
- Volume is measured in cubic units such as cubic meters (m3) or cubic feet (ft3).
- The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.
- V = l x w x h
