Overview

In this chapter, we learn about two important measurements in geometry: perimeter and area. Perimeter tells us the total length of the boundary of a shape, while area tells us how much space is inside the shape. These concepts help us understand and measure real-life things like the length of fencin

Key Concepts

Perimeter is the total distance around

Perimeter is the total distance around the edge of a closed shape. To find it, add up the lengths of all the sides. For example, the perimeter of a re

A square has 4 equal sides

A square has 4 equal sides, so its perimeter is 4 × side. A rectangle has opposite sides equal, so its perimeter is 2 × (length + breadth).

Area is the amount of surface

Area is the amount of surface covered by a shape. It is measured in square units like square centimetres (cm²) or square metres (m²). We can find area

For shapes that are not regular

For shapes that are not regular, we use graph paper to estimate the area. We count full squares, ignore squares less than half, and count squares that
