Topics in How many Squares?

1

Understanding Area

  • Area is the amount of surface covered by a shape.
  • We measure area by counting the number of unit squares (squares of side 1 cm) that fit inside the shape.
  • The unit of area is 'square cm' (written as sq cm).
2

Understanding Perimeter

  • Perimeter is the total length of the boundary (outer edge) of a shape.
  • To find perimeter, add up all the sides of the shape.
  • Perimeter is measured in cm (or mm, m, km for larger shapes).

Rectangles with Same Area but Different Perimeters

  • Using 12 unit squares, you can make different rectangles: 1×12, 2×6, 3×4.
  • All these rectangles have the same area = 12 square cm.
  • But their perimeters are different: 1×12 has perimeter 26 cm, 2×6 has 16 cm, 3×4 has 14 cm.

Area of Triangles

  • A triangle that is exactly half of a rectangle has area = half the area of the rectangle.
  • If a rectangle has area 2 sq cm, the triangle formed by cutting it diagonally = 1 sq cm.
  • If a rectangle has area 20 sq cm, the triangle = 10 sq cm.
