Geometry: Perimeter and Area Lesson 6-8 Pages 270-273 Geometry: Perimeter and Area
How to find the perimeters and areas of figures. What you will learn! How to find the perimeters and areas of figures.
Vocabulary Perimeter Formula Area
What you really need to know! The distance around a geometric figure is called the perimeter. To find the perimeter of any geometric figure, add the measures of its sides.
9 units 5 5 units 9 Perimeter = 28 units
What you really need to know! The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length l plus twice the width w. P = 2l + 2w
Perimeter = 28 units P = 2l + 2w P = 2×9 + 2×5 P = 18 + 10 P = 28
What you really need to know! The measure of the surface enclosed by a geometric figure is called the area.

What you really need to know! The area of a rectangle is the product of the length l and width w. A= L × W
Area = l × w Area = 9 × 5 Area = 45 units2 Length (9 units) Width
