DISCUSSION:

POLYGONS
A Polygon is a closed plane figure bounded by segments. These segments are the sides of the polygon. Some of the
more commonly used polygons are shown below:
Triangle (T) Rectangle (R) Square (S)

Parallelogram (P) Trapezoid (t) Rhombus (r)

PERIMETER OF POLYGONS
The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon is referred to as the perimeter (P) of the polygon. Below are some
perimeter formulas for basic polygons.
Triangle (T) Rectangle (R) Square (S) Parallelogram (P)

l (length) s b
a c w w s a
s a
(width) (side)

b l s b
( ) ( )

Examples. Find the perimeter of each figure shown below.

7.8 mm
12 cm 8 cm 3.5 mm

1. 15 cm
2.
Solution: Use the formula for the perimeter of a triangle. Solution: Use the formula for the perimeter of a
rectangle. Take note that same number of lines
marked in each side means they are equal in
measurement.

5. 13 cm

Solution: The example above is an irregular polygon, so it does not have a specific formula for the perimeter. Take
note that perimeter means the sum of all the sides of a polygon. So we will just add the sides of the polygon to solve
for its perimeter. But the measurement of the two sides is not given, but you can solve for it by using the following
given sides. 5 cm

AREA OF POLYGONS
Area (A) can be defined as the space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object. The area of a figure is the
number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed figure. The area is measured in square units ( ) such as
square centimteres (cm2), square feet (ft2), square inches (in2), etc.

Below are area formulas for some polygons.

Square (S) Rectangle (R) Parallelogram (P)

s l (length) b (base)
s s (side) w w (width) h (height)
s l b

Triangle (T) Trapezoid (t)

a (base 1)
h
h (height)
(height)
b (base 2)
b (base)

Examples. Find the area of the following.

1. Find the area of a square whose side is 5 cm. 2. Find the area of a rectangle whose length is 8 mm
and width is 5 mm.

and 12.3 cm and height is 8.1 cm.
CIRCLE
12.3 cm
8.1 cm
A circle is the set of all points in
a plane with a given distance
15 cm
Illustration: from a given point in the plane.
Solution: ( ) The given point is called the
center.
( )( )
A radius of a circle is a segment
( )( ) from the cneter of the circle to a
point on the circle.
( )
A diameter is a chord that
contains the center of the circle.

Circumference of Circle – it is the distance around a Area of Circle – it is the area of the region bounded by the
circle. It is given by the equation: circle. It is given by the equation:
𝐶 𝜋𝑑 or 𝐶 𝜋𝑟 𝑑
𝐴 𝜋𝑟 or 𝐴 𝜋
Take note that 1 diameter (d) is equal to 2 radius (r): 𝑑 𝑟
and π (pi) is approximately equal to 3.14. Take note that π (pi) is approximately equal to 3.14.

Example. Find the circumference of the following: Example. Find the area of the following:
1. Circle with a radius of 3 cm. 1. Circle with radius of 4 cm

VOLUME OF 3-DIMENSIONAL POLYGONS

Volume (V) can be defined as the 3-dimensional space enclosed by a boundary or occupied by an object. The volume
of an object is measured in cubic units ( ) such as cubic centimeters (cm3, cubic foot (ft3), cubic meter (m3), etc.
Below are volume formulas for some 3-D polygons.
