Study Notes
Perimeter of a Square
- The formula to calculate the perimeter of a square is P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of one side.
- For a square with a perimeter of 20 units, each side length can be found by rearranging the formula: s = P/4, which results in s = 20/4 = 5 units.
- If the perimeter of a square is 40 units, the side length is calculated similarly: s = 40/4 = 10 units.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
- The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula P = 2(l + w), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and w is the width.
- If the length of a rectangle is doubled while the width remains constant, the new perimeter is calculated as follows:
- Original perimeter: P = 2(l + w)
- New perimeter after doubling the length: P' = 2(2l + w) = 4l + 2w, indicating an increase in perimeter.
- For a rectangle with a length of 6 units and a width of 4 units, the perimeter is P = 2(6 + 4) = 2(10) = 20 units.
