Area And

Perimeter
Janette Flores

Like any polygon, the perimeter is the total distance

around the outside, which can be found by adding
together the length of each side. I the case of a
rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length, so the
perimeter is twice its width plus twice its height.
The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying the
width times the height.

Like any polygon, the perimeter is the total distance around the
outside, which can be found by adding together the length of each
side. I the case of a square, all four sides are the same length, so the
perimeter is four times the length of a side.The area of a square is
calculated in the usual way once the length of a side is found. See
Square definition (coordinate geometry) to see how the side length is
found. Once the side length is known the area is found by multiplying
the side length by itself in the usual way.

Circumference is the linear distance around the edge of a closed

curve or circular object. The circumference of a circle is of special
importance in geometry and trigonometry. Informally "circumference"
may also refer to the edge itself rather than to the length of the
edge. Circumference is a special case of perimeter: the perimeter is
the length around any closed figure, but conventionally "perimeter" is
typically used in reference to a polygon while "circumference"
typically refers to a continuously differentiable curve.

1. Representing the number of sides of a polygon

as n, the number of triangles formed is (n - 2).
Since each triangle contains 180, the sum of
the interior angles of a polygon is 180(n - 2).

To me honestly none of them are difficult

but I would say square area and
perimeter was difficult to learn. The
reason it was hard at first was because of
the formula. It was confusing.

I wouldnt learn it
differently because the
way it was taught was
easy to understand. I
basically just took notes

Car makers - measure car wheels to make sure they

fit
Race engineers - Use it to find out what size tire
gives them the most performance
Bakers - Use it to make pies and other circular stuff
Military engineers - Balancing helicopter blades
Aircraft engineer - Propeller efficiency
etc...

I really dont know what I

will learn next i just hope
its not hard. I doubt it
wont be hard because
life is hard.

Geometry introduces geometric reasoning as a method for problem solving. In this

course, you will explore the properties of geometric figures such as triangles,
quadrilaterals, and other polygons. You will make constructions using pencil and paper,
and also dynamic software, and you will practice using mathematical language to
express ideas and justify your reasoning. Some important geometric ideas such as
symmetry, similarity, and trigonometry will also be examined. Lastly, you will begin to
explore the basis of formal mathematical proofs and solid geometry. The course material
progresses from more visual, intuitive ways of solving problems to more formal
explorations of geometric ideas, properties, and, finally, proofs.
The course consists of 10 sessions, each with a half hour of video programming, problemsolving activities provided online and in a print guide, and interactive activities and
demonstrations on the Web. Although each session includes suggested times for how
long it may take to complete all of the required activities, these times are approximate.
Some activities may take longer. You should allow at least two and a half hours for each
session. The 10th session explores ways to apply the concepts of geometry you've
learned in K-8 classrooms. You should complete the sessions sequentially.
