Section 2.

1 Perimeter, Circumference, and Area


The perimeter P of a geometric figure is the distance around the figure. The distance around a
circle is given a special name, called its circumference C. The area A of a geometric figure is the
number of square units it encloses.

Perimeter, Circumference, and Area Formulas

A square with side length s has perimeter and area .

A rectangle with length l and width w has perimeter and area .

A triangle with side lengths a, b, and c and height h corresponding to base b has perimeter

and area .

A circle with radius r and diameter d has circumference and area .
