Study Notes

  • Chapter 9 focuses on perimeter and area calculation.

Area of a Parallelogram

  • Parallelograms can be converted into rectangles of equal area.
  • To find a parallelogram's area, cut it out on graph paper, draw a perpendicular line from one vertex to the opposite side, and move the resulting triangle to the other side. This forms a rectangle.
  • Parallelogram area equals the area of the rectangle formed after the transformation.
  • The length and breadth of the rectangle correspond to the base and height of the parallelogram.
  • The area of a parallelogram = base × height = b × h
  • Any side of a parallelogram can be considered its base.
  • Height (or altitude) is the perpendicular distance from the opposite vertex to the base.
  • To calculate the area by counting squares enclosed figures and measure sides
  • Parallelograms with equal areas can have different perimeters
  • Different areas are possible with parallelograms of equal perimeters.
  • Knowing the base and corresponding height is needed to find an area

Area of a Triangle

  • Two identical scalene triangles can form a parallelogram when corresponding sides are joined.
  • The combined area of two identical triangles equals the area of the parallelogram they form.
  • The base and height of the triangle correspond to the base and height of the parallelogram.
  • Area of each triangle = 1/2 (Area of parallelogram)
  • A triangle's area is calculated as 1/2 × base × height, or (1/2)bh.
  • For an obtuse-angled triangle, the height may fall outside the triangle.

Circumference of a Circle

  • The distance around a circular region is the circumference.
  • Circumference is determined by marking and rolling circular shape along the ruler
  • The ratio of circumference to diameter is constant.
  • Pi (Ï€) is used to denote a constant ratio
  • Ï€ is approximately 22/7 or 3.14.
  • C/d = Ï€, C = Ï€d
  • Circle diameter (d) is twice the radius (r), or d = 2r
  • C = Ï€ x 2r or C = 2Ï€r

Area of a Circle

  • Dividing a circle into sectors and rearranging them forms a rectangle.
  • The breadth of the rectangle is equal to the circle's radius.
  • Circle area is calculated as Ï€r².
