Area And Perimeter Of
Basic And Plane Figures
Perimeter
The perimeter is the length of the
outline of a shape. To find the
perimeter of a rectangle or square
you have to add the lengths of all
the four sides.
OR
The sum of all the sides.
Example of Perimeter
Area
• The area 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. Area is
measured in square units such as square
centimeters, square feet, square inches,
etc.
Example of Area
Solution:
2 cm
According to formula
Perimeter = 4cm + 2cm + 4cm + 2cm = 12 cm
Area = l × b = 4 cm × 2 cm = 8 cm2
• Find perimeter and area of given circle:
Solution:
According to formula 4 cm
Circumference = 2πr
=2×3.142×4 cm
=25.136 cm
Area = πr2
= 3.142×(4cm)2
= 43.988 cm2
• Find perimeter and area of given triangle:
Solution: 4.
5
cm
According to formula 4 cm
Perimeter = a + b + c
2 cm
= 4 cm + 4.5 cm + 2 cm
= 10 cm
Area = ½ × b × h
= ½ × 2 cm × 4 cm
= 4 cm2
(If two figures are joined)
• Find perimeter and area:
Solution:
According to formula
Area:
Area of triangle = ½ × b × h
Area of Semi-Circle= ½ πr2 (Add both areas)
Perimeter:
Perimeter of Semi-Circle = ½ 2πr
Perimeter of Triangle=Side1+Side
(Add both perimeters)
(Book 1--Ex:13A-- Question 6(b)—Pg:322)
(If one figure is removed from another)
• Find perimeter and area:
Solution:
According to formula
Area:
Area of Square=l2
Area of Triangle= ½ × b × h (Subtract both areas)
Perimeter:
Perimeter of square=4l(Subtract both perimeters)
Perimeter of triangle=Side1+Side+Side3
