Mathematics( Area and Perimeter of Plane figures)
Area: Area is defined as the total space taken up by a flat (2-D) surface or shape of an object. The space
enclosed by the boundary of a plane figure is called its area.

Perimeter: the perimeter of a shape is the sum of the length of all its sides. Boundary of the closed 2 D
figure.
2 D shapes
Name Figure Area Perimeter
Square Area= Length x Length Perimeter = l + l + l + l
=lxl = 4l

Rectangle Area= length x Breadth Perimeter= 2(l+ b)

= lb

Circle Area = π r 2 Perimeter= 2 π r

r=radius

Semi-circle πr

Perimeter= πr +d
Area= d = diameter

Triangle 1 Perimeter = a + b + c
Area= ( base × height )
