Perimeter Perimeter is measurement of length of a boundary which encompasses a closed plane surface. It is the distance around the outside edge of a figure. In Mathematics, perimeter is the total length of the sides enclosing a certain geometrical shape. 10cm 4cm Perimeter = 10cm + 4cm + 10cm + 4cm = 28cm OR Perimeter = 10cm × 2 + 4cm × 2 = 20cm + 8cm = 28cm

Try out the questions below. Important steps should be shown in your task sheet given. 1) 75cm 182cm 163 cm What is the perimeter of the triangle above?

2) 68cm 154cm What is the perimeter of the rectangle above? 3) What is the perimeter of the equilateral triangle above? 57cm

4) The perimeter of the square above is 148cm. What is the length of its side? 5) 195cm The perimeter of the rectangle above is 534cm. What is the length of BC? B C A D

Area Area is the amount of space or surface which occupies a two-dimensional closed plane figure. Names Two-dimensional geometric figures Area Formulae square A = length × length length rectangle A = length × breadth breadth

simple concept about area simple concept about area C B A D The rectangular board is divided with squares of unit size each. We can find the area of any part by counting the number of squares as its unit measure. Thus, Area of A = 2 square units or 2 unit² Area of B = 3 square units or 3 unit² Area of C = 4 square units or 4 unit² Area of D = 5 square units or 5 unit²

3) The area of a rectangle is 120cm². If the breadth is 5cm, what is the length? 4) The length of a carpet is 12m. Its breadth is less than the length by 4m. What is the area of the carpet? 5) The area of Ahmad’s school field is 6000m². If the length is 100m, what is the breadth of the field?

Volume The real world is actually a three-dimensional space. All things in this world, whether solid, liquid or gaseous, exist in three dimensions. As such, the amount of three-dimensional space which an object occupies is called its volume. To calculate the volume of an object or solid, we have to use a specific unit of measure. The most suitable shape for the unit of volume is a unit cube with dimensions 1cm × 1cm × 1cm.

A unit cube is a cube whose edges are of unit length. The volume of a unit cube with edges 1cm each is 1cm × 1cm × 1cm = 1cm³ This unit cube is the unit of measure usually used for measuring volume of a solid. 1cm Example: If = 1cm³, find the volume of the solid below. Solution: Volume = 1cm³ × 4 = 4cm³

Volume of cube = length × 3 = l ³ Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height OR Volume of cuboid = Area of base × height l l l l b h
