Study Notes
Perimeters of Plane Figures
- Perimeter is the total length of the boundaries of a two-dimensional shape.
- Perimeters of rectangles, squares, and triangles are calculated using different formulas.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
- Perimeter is the sum of all sides of the rectangle.
- Formula: Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
- Perimeter can also be found by adding the lengths of all four sides.
- The total length of the boundaries is the perimeter.
Perimeter of a Square
- All sides of a square are equal in length.
- Formula: Perimeter = 4 × side length
Perimeter of a Triangle
- Perimeter is the sum of all three sides.
- Formula: Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
Real-life Applications
- Calculating perimeter is used in construction, estimating distances, and various practical applications.
- Examples include fencing a garden, determining the amount of material needed to cover a surface (carpets, fabric), or calculating the distances covered in travel.
- Perimeter calculations are needed in different real-world situations like arranging or covering surfaces.
- Perimeter is used in everyday situations to find the total length surrounding an object or area.
