Perimeter 1 cm To find the perimeterof a shape we add together the length of all the sides. What is the perimeter of this shape? Starting point Perimeter = 3 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 3 = 12 cm 2 3 1 1 2
Perimeter of a rectangle To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle we can use a formula. length, l width, w Using l for length and w for width, Perimeter of a rectangle = l + w + l + w = 2l + 2w or = 2(l + w)
Perimeter 9 cm 5 cm 12 cm 4 cm Sometimes we are not given the lengths of all the sides. We have to work them out using the information we are given. What is the perimeter of this shape? The lengths of two of the sides are not given so we have to work them out before we can find the perimeter. a cm Let’s call the lengths a and b. b cm
Perimeter Sometime we are not given the lengths of all the sides. We have to work them out from the information we are given. 9 cm a = 12 – 5 cm = 7 cm 5 cm 9 – 4 cm b = 12 cm 4 cm = 5 cm a cm 7 cm P = 9 + 5 + 4 + 7 + 5 + 12 = 42 cm b cm 5 cm
Perimeter Calculate the lengths of the missing sides to find the perimeter. 5 cm p = 2 cm p 2 cm q = r = 1.5 cm q r s = 6 cm t = 2 cm s 6 cm u = 10 cm P = 5 + 2 + 1.5 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 10 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 1.5 + 2 4 cm 4 cm 2 cm 2 cm t u = 46 cm
Perimeter What is the perimeter of this shape? Remember, the dashes indicate the sides that are the same length. 5 cm 4 cm P = 5 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 26 cm
Perimeter What is the perimeter of this shape? Start by finding the lengths of all the sides. 4.5 m 4.5 m Perimeter = 4.5 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 4.5 5 m 4 m = 17 m 2 m 2 m 1 m 1 m 2 m
Perimeter What is the perimeter of this shape? Before we can find the perimeter we must convert all the lengths to the same units. 256 cm In this example, we can either use metres or centimetres. 300 cm 3 m 1.9 m 190 cm Using centimetres, P = 256 + 190 + 240 + 300 2.4 m 240 cm = 986 cm

Area Rug A Rug C Rug B The area of a shape is a measure of how much surface the shape takes up. For example, which of these rugs covers a larger surface?
Area of a rectangle length, l Area of a rectangle = length × width width, w = lw Area is measured in square units. We can use mm2, cm2, m2 or km2. The 2 tells us that there are two dimensions, length and width. We can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and the width of the rectangle together.

Area of a right-angled triangle Area = × base × height 1 1 2 2 = × 8 × 6 Calculate the area of this right-angled triangle. To work out the area of this triangle we only need the length of the base and the height. 8 cm 6 cm 10 cm We can ignore the third length opposite the right angle. = 24 cm2
Area of shapes made from rectangles How can we find the area of this shape? We can think of this shape as being made up of two rectangles. 7 m Either like this … A 10 m … or like this. 15 m 8 m Label the rectangles A and B. B 5 m Area A = 10 × 7 = 70 m2 15 m Area B = 5 × 15 = 75 m2 Total area = 70 + 75 = 145 m2
Area of shapes made from rectangles How can we find the area of the shaded shape? 7 cm We can think of this shape as being made up of one rectangle with another rectangle cut out of it. A 3 cm Label the rectangles A and B. 8 cm B 4 cm Area A = 7 × 8 = 56 cm2 Area B = 3 × 4 = 12 cm2 Total area = 56 – 12 = 44 cm2
Area of an irregular shapes on a pegboard A D B E C How can we find the area of this irregular quadrilateral constructed on a pegboard? We can divide the shape into right-angled triangles and a square.

Area of an irregular shapes on a pegboard A B C D How can we find the area of this irregular quadrilateral constructed on a pegboard? An alternative method would be to construct a rectangle that passes through each of the vertices. The area of this rectangle is 4 × 5 = 20 units2 The area of the irregular quadrilateral is found by subtracting the area of each of these triangles.

Area problems This diagram shows a yellow square inside a blue square. What is the area of the yellow square? 3 cm 7 cm We can work this out by subtracting the area of the four blue triangles from the area of the whole blue square. 10 cm If the height of each blue triangle is 7 cm, then the base is 3 cm. Area of each blue triangle = ½ × 7 × 3 = ½ × 21 = 10.5 cm2
Area problems 7 cm 10 cm This diagram shows a yellow square inside a blue square. What is the area of the yellow square? 3 cm We can work this out by subtracting the area of the four blue triangles from the area of the whole blue square. There are four blue triangles so: Area of four triangles = 4 × 10.5 = 42 cm2 Area of blue square = 10 × 10 = 100 cm2 Area of yellow square = 100 – 42 = 58 cm2
Area formulae of 2-D shapes h b h b a h 1 1 2 2 Area of a triangle = bh Area of a trapezium = (a + b)h b You should know the following formulae: Area of a parallelogram = bh
Using units in formulae Remember, when using formulae we must make sure that all values are written in the same units. For example, find the area of this trapezium. 76 cm Let’s write all the lengths in cm. 518 mm = 51.8 cm 518 mm 1.24 m = 124 cm 1.24 m Area of the trapezium = ½(76 + 124) × 51.8 Don’t forget to put the units at the end. = ½ × 200 × 51.8 = 5180 cm2
