Key Vocabulary  Perimeter – The distance around an polygon.  Area – The amount of space inside a two dimensional shape.

MEA 201  Estimate or calculate the length of a line segment based on other lengths given on a geometric figure. x 17 in 8 in 8 + x = x = 9 in Easy!

MEA 301:  Compute the perimeter of polygons when all side lengths are given 8 in 7 in 8 in Add all the sides: = 44 in

MEA 302:  Compute the area of rectangles when whole number dimensions are given. 25 in 6 in Area of Rectangle = Length Width A = L W A = 25 6 A = 150 in

MEA 401:  Compute the area and perimeter of triangles and rectangles in simple problems. Area of Triangles = 1/2 Base Height Base Height

MEA 401:  Tom mows lawns for $1.20 per square feet. How much did he charge to cut the lawn below? 23 ft 11 ft A = L W A = A = 253 ft 2 Price = 253$1.20 Price = $303.60

MEA 401:  Tom also paints. He charges $1.50 per square feet. How much did he charge for the triangular wall below? 9 ft A = ½ B H A = ½ 9 12 A = 54 ft 2 Price = 54 $1.50 Price = $81 12 ft
