Overview
Perimeter is the total length around a shape, while area is the amount of space enclosed by a shape. The chapter builds from simple shapes like squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles to deeper ideas such as arc length, sector area, Heron's formula, Brahmagupta's formula, and the area of a circl
Key Concepts
Perimeter is the total length around
Perimeter is the total length around the boundary of a shape. A square with side a units has perimeter 4a units, an equilateral triangle with side a u
The circumference of a circle
The circumference of a circle is its perimeter. It is written as C = πd = 2πr, where d is the diameter and r is the radius. The ratio C/d stays fixed
Different mathematicians gave different approximations
Different mathematicians gave different approximations for pi: Mesopotamian value 3.125, Archimedes' bounds 3 10/71 < pi < 3 1/7, Ptolemy's 377/120, A
Pi is an irrational number
Pi is an irrational number, so it cannot be written as a fraction a/b with integers a and b. Its decimal expansion goes on forever without repeating.
The length of an arc subtending
The length of an arc subtending angle θ at the centre is l = 2πr × θ°/360°. A semicircular arc has length πr, and a quarter-circle arc has length πr/2
Learning Objectives
- Define and use perimeter for basic plane figures
- Find the circumference of a circle and the length of an arc
- Understand the history and meaning of pi as a constant ratio
- Recognise that pi is irrational and compare common approximations
- Use formulas for area of rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, and circle
