SHAPE OVERVIEW Rectangle Triangle Hexagon Circle Parallelogram Trapezoid Parallelogram Square Pentagon

Perimeter 2 4 To calculate the perimeter of an object or space, you will need to add up all of the outside measurements. 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 = ________

Tricky Perimeters (Look carefully.) 3 You will need to remember which sides to add and the values for each side. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

AREA You will use different formulas for each type of shape when finding area Each answer will require you to use the measurement given, and it will always be squared…ex.) 9 ft.2
