Chapter 3 - How Many Squares?
Area:
• The area is the region enclosed by the boundary of a closed figure.
• Square units are used to measure area.
Perimeter:
• Perimeter is the length that forms the boundary of an area (or) the total
length of the boundary is called Perimeter.
• If the figure is a triangle, square, or rectangle, the perimeter is the sum of
the edge lengths.
• We measure the perimeter of any figure in mm, cm, m, or km.

Dimensions:
• The measurement like length, width, and height of any object is known as
dimensions. Different objects and shapes have different dimensions.
• Based on dimension the area and perimeter will differ which means even
if they look similar their areas and perimeters will be different because of
dimensions.
Solved Example 1: Does your palm and length of your hand is smaller than
your parents. Compare your hand with your parent and answer the
question.
Ans: Yes, on comparing my hand with my father’s palm his palm is bigger than
mine and also my father’s hand is longer than my hand.
Counting Grids
• To find the area and perimeter of any object we use the counting grids
method.
• The area of a plane figure is the number of squares required to completely
cover it and the perimeter of a plane figure is the number of squares
required to cover the boundary of the figure.
• Suppose we want to find the area of the below-given square. We can
simply count the total number of small squares present in it because the
area is nothing but space occupied by the shape of the object.
• Since it would be silly to always count all those squares to find the area
and perimeter of any object. Also counting the squares will be difficult
for the objects or shapes that big, that's why we use specific formulas for
area and perimeter for specific objects which makes us easy to find.
Square
• A closed, two-dimensional shape with 4 equal sides is known as a
Square.
• In Square all 4 sides are equal
• Example of Square Shape Objects: Chessboard, a slice of bread, etc.
• Formula of area of a Square = side side
• Formula of a Perimeter of a Square = 4 length of a side

Solved Example 2: Find the perimeter and area of a square of side 10 cm.
Ans: We know that the perimeter of square = 4 length of a side
Here given side= 10 cm
Therefore, perimeter = 4 10cm = 40cm
Now, area of the square = side side sq. units
Therefore the area of square = 10 10 = 121cm2

Solved Example 5: Find the area of a triangle with a base of 5 inches and a
height of 8 inches.
Ans: Now let us find the area using the area of triangle formula:
1
We know that area of triangle = l b
2
1
Thus the area of triangle (A) = 58
2
1
A = 40
2
Therefore, the area of the triangle (A) = 20in2
Solved Example 6: Anshu wants to find the perimeter of the pyramid toy
which is in a triangle shape each side is 12 cm.
Ans: Since all three sides are equal in length, the triangle is an equilateral
triangle.
i.e. a = b = c = 12 cm
Perimeter = a + b + c
Perimeter = 12 + 12 + 12
Perimeter = 36
Perimeter = 36 cm.
Observe the given rectangles here both of them have different areas i.e, Area of
Rectangle A = 18 square units and Area of Rectangle B is 20 square units.
Ans: After colouring and counting the squares we observe that the total area of
the figure will be (3+7+1) square units = 11 square units.
Patterns
• Patterns are a set of numbers arranged in a sequence such that they are
related to each other in a specific rule.
• Patterns are repeated arrangements of shapes, colours and numbers which
are arranged while rotating it.
• Example: tiles in our houses, checks on a shirt, mom’s saree with a
design, a beautiful dress has a design pattern etc.
