Perimeter, Area, and Volume

Study Guide

Key Definition

The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it. The area is the space inside a shape. The volume is the space a 3D object occupies.

Important Notes

Perimeter is measured in linear units like meters.
Area is measured in square units like square meters.
Volume is measured in cubic units like cubic meters.
Formulas help calculate these measurements.
Understanding dimensions is crucial.

Mathematical Notation

$\pi$ is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159

$+$ represents addition

$-$ represents subtraction

$\times$ or $*$ represents multiplication

$\div$ or $/$ represents division

Remember to use proper notation when solving problems

Why It Works

These formulas allow you to calculate the size and space of shapes and objects using their dimensions.

Remember

Key formulas include $P = 2L + 2W$ for the perimeter of a rectangle, $A = L \times W$ for the area of a rectangle, and $V = L \times W \times H$ for the volume of a rectangular prism.

Quick Reference

Square Perimeter:$P = 4s$

Rectangle Area:$A = L \times W$

Circle Circumference:$P = 2 \pi r$

Triangle Area:$A = \frac{1}{2}b \times h$

Volume of Rectangular Prism:$V = L \times W \times H$

Beginner Explanation

Perimeter is the total distance around a shape. For a rectangle with length $L$ and width $W$, $P = 2L + 2W$. For a square with side $s$, $P = 4s$.
