2. 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 in.)
P = 16in in. P = 2 (23 in.)
P = 46 in. P = 46 in.

3. 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.

4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
