Textbook Page 97 – Page 98
What is the formula for
the area of the following
geometric figures?
Square Rectangle
Triangle Circle
Area of some geometric figures:
Square= side x side = s 2

Rectangle = length x width = lxw

Triangle = 1/2(base x height) = 1/2bh
Circle = 2π(radius)2 = 2πr2
 Answer the following questions:

1) How is Perimeter defined?

2) What is the perimeter of the
following geometric figures:
Square Rectangle Triangle
1) How is Perimeter defined?
>>> sum of all sides
2) What is the perimeter of the
following geometric figures:
Square Rectangle Triangle
>>> Square = 4s
Rectangle = 2L + 2W
Triangle = s1 + s2 + s3
English Measure of Length
feet (ft)
inch (in)
yard (yd)
mile (mi)
Metric Measure of Length
metre (m)
kilometre (km)
centimetre (cm)
millimetre (mm)
English Measure of Area
2
square feet (ft )
2
square inch (in )
square yard (yd )2

square miles (mi ) 2

acres
Metric Measure for Area
square metres (m )2

square centimetres (cm )2

2
square kilometres (km )
square millimetres (mm )2
English Conversion Factors:
1 sq ft = 144 sq in
1 sq yd = 9 sq ft
1 acre = 1840 sq yd
1 acre = 43 560 sq ft
1 sq mi = 640 acres
Metric Conversion Factors:
1 sq km = 1 000 000 sq m
1 sq m = 0.000 1 sq cm
1 sq m = 0.000 001 sq mm
Metric-English Conversion:
1 sq in = 645.16 sq mm
1 sq ft = 929.03 sq cm
1 sq yd = 0.836 sq m
1 sq mi = 2.59 sq km
Examples:
1) Find the perimeter and area of a
square whose side 4m.
2) How many square inches are
there in 20 ft2?
3) Find the area in square metres
of a rectangular lot whose length is
20ft. and width 3m.
