Examination Practice - Perimeter, Area and Volume

Summary Notes

Perimeter
• Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a 2D shape

• It is found by adding the lengths of the sides together

• The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference

Area
• Area is the amount of space taken up by a two-dimensional shape

Area & Circumference of Circles

Arc

• An arc is a part of the circumference of a circle

• Two points on a circumference of a circle will create two arcs


○ The smaller arc is known as the minor arc
○ The bigger arc is known as the major arc

Sector

• In technical terms, a sector is the part of a circle enclosed by two radii (radiuses) and an arc

• It’s much easier to think of a sector as the shape of a slice of a circular pizza (or cake, or pie, or …) and
an arc as the curvy bit at the end of it (where the crust is)

• Two radii in a circle will create two sectors


○ The smaller sector is known as the minor sector
○ The bigger sector is known as the major sector

• If the angle of the slice is θ (the Greek letter “theta”) then the formulae for the area of a sector

Volume and Surface Area

• The volume of a 3D shape is a measure of how much space it takes up

Cuboids

Prism

Cylinder

Pyramid

Cone

Sphere

REVISION CHECKLIST
• R = RED means you are really unsure and lack confidence in that area; you might want to focus your revision here
and possibly talk to your teacher for help

• A = AMBER means you are reasonably confident in a topic but need some extra practice

• G = GREEN means you are very confident in a topic
