What to Focus On

  • A closed figure has no gaps in its boundary.
  • It is bounded by straight or curved lines.
  • Examples: rectangle, square, triangle, circle.

  • Interior: the space inside the figure.
  • Region: interior + boundary.

  • Perimeter = sum of all side lengths.
  • Unit: cm, m, etc.
  • Used in fencing, running tracks, and borders.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perimeter and area mean the same thing — both measure 'size' of a shape.

If two shapes have the same perimeter, they must have the same area.

When calculating area, you can mix units like cm and mm without conversion.

Memory Tips

Perimeter means the total length of the boundary of a closed figure.

Area means the space inside a shape.

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)

Area of Rectangle = length × breadth
