To calculate the perimeter of an object or space,
you will need to add up all of the outside
measurements.
2 + 4 + 2 + 4 = ________
Circumference of a circle
1. Find the circumference of
a circle whose diameter is 5
meters
Activity : 1. Find the
circumference of a circle
whose radius is 10cm.
TRIANGLE - P= 2 ( l + w )
c b
a If a= 5m
b= 6m
c= 10m
Then P = 5m + 6m + 10m
= 21m
Activity 1:
[Link] the length and
width of a rectangle its
length is twice its width
and the perimeter is 36
meters.
1. Find the length and width of a
rectangle its length is twice its width
and the perimeter is 36 meters.
L= 2w = 2(6) = 12
l= 12m
Tricky Perimeters

AREA
You will use different formulas for
each type of shape when finding area
Each answer will require you to use
the measurement given, and it will
always be squared…ex.) 9 ft.2
