Geometry 1.6 Perimeter and Area
Perimeter Is the distance around a figure It is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the figure =side 1 +side 2 +side side n
Perimeter 9 5
Perimeter of a Rectangle l w P = l + w + l + w P= 2l + 2w
Area The area of a figure is the number of square units needed to cover its surface HUH?
Area 5 4
5 4 The area of a Rectangle is found by multiplying the length and the width A = lw = l x w
Area of a parallelogram The area of a Parallelogram is the product of the base and the height. A = bh = b x h
What’s a parallelogram Four sides Opposite sides are parallel
Area of a parallelogram b The base is easy to find, but where is the height? h
Area of a parallelogram 7 4 A = bh A = 7(4) A = 28
Area of a parallelogram b h b Now it’s just like a rectangle
Area of a parallelogram = bh Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2l + 2w Area of a Rectangle = lw
