Perimeter VS Area (Other shapes)

The formulas used to find the perimeter and Area of different shapes are given below.


 

PERIMETER

 

AREA

 

RECTANGLE = 2 (Length + Breadth)

= 2 (l + b)

RECTANGLE = Length x Breadth

= l x b

SQUARE = 4 (Length)

= 4l

SQUARE = Length x Length

= l x l

TRIANGLE = Sum of all sides

TRIANGLE = ½ (Base x Height)

= ½ bh

PARALLELOGRAM = Sum of all sides


PARALLELOGRAM = Base x Height

= B x H

CIRCLE = 2 x π x radius

= 2πr

(OR)

= π x diameter

= πd

CIRCLE = π x radius x radius

= πr2

TRAPEZIUM = Sum of all sides

TRAPEZIUM = ½ (a + b) x height

a + b is the sum of all parallel sides

TRAPEZIUM = ½ (a + b) h

  1. Need more worksheets like this. Also, leave a bit more space so it will be easier to print and work
