Overview

In this chapter, we learn about two important measurements in geometry: perimeter and area. Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of a closed figure, while area is the amount of space covered by the surface of a figure. These concepts help us solve real-life problems like fencing a field, ti

Key Concepts

Perimeter is the total distance around

Perimeter is the total distance around the boundary of a closed figure. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated as 2 × (length + bread

Area is the amount of surface

Area is the amount of surface covered by a flat shape. The area of a rectangle is length × breadth, and for a square, it is side × side or (side)².

Perimeter is measured in units

Perimeter is measured in units of length like centimeters (cm) or meters (m). Area is measured in square units like cm² or m². Always convert measurem

Regular figures like squares and equilateral

Regular figures like squares and equilateral triangles have equal sides. Their perimeter can be found by multiplying one side by the number of sides.
