Perimeter of a Rectangle The perimeter is the distance around a figure. The formulas are: P = 2L + 2W P = 2 (L + W) Measured in single units. 15 in. 8 in. P = 2(8 in.) + 2(15 in.) P = 2 (8 in. + 15 in.) P = 16in. + 30 in. P = 2 (23 in.) P = 46 in. P = 46 in.
Perimeter of a Square The perimeter is the distance around a figure. The formula is: P = 4s Measured in single units. P = 4s P = 4(9in.) or 4 x 9 in. P = 36 in. 9 in.
Perimeter of a Triangle The perimeter is the distance around a figure. Add up all three sides. P = A + B + C Measured in single units. 5 inches 5 inches P = A + B + C P = 5 in. + 5 in. + 5 in. P = 15 in. 5 inches
Area of a Rectangle The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure. The formula is: A = L x W Area is measured in square units. 9 in. A = L x W A = 14 in. x 9 in. A = 126 square in. 14 in.
Area of a Square The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure. The formula is: A = s² or A = s x s Area is measured in square units. A = s² A = s x s A = 6 in.² A = 6 in. x 6 in. A = 36 sq. in. A = 36 sq. in. 6 in.
Area of a Triangle The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure. The formula is: A =½bh or A = bh 2 Area is measured in square units. A =½bh A = ½(5 in. x 4 in.) A = ½ (20 sq. in.) A = 10 sq. in. 5 in. 5 in. 4 in. 5 in.
Volume The volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object. The formula is V = L x W x H Volume is measured in cubic units. V = L x W x H V = 5 in. x 2 in. x 5 in. V = 10 sq. in. x 5 in. V = 50 cubic in. 5 in. 2 in. 5 in.
