Formulas and Key Relations
2) Triangle: Area and Perimeter
Perimeter = a + b + c
s = (a + b + c)/2
Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
Area = (1/2) × base × height
base = (2 × area)/height
3) Rectangle and Square
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
Area of rectangle = l × b
Diagonal of rectangle = √(l² + b²)
Perimeter of square = 4 × side
Area of square = side²
4) Trapezium
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (a+b) × h
h = (2 × area)/(a+b)
a+b = (2 × area)/h
1 m = 100 cm.
Semi-perimeter s = (a+b+c)/2.
Rectangle perimeter = 2(l+b).
Rectangle area = l × b.
Rectangle diagonal = √(l²+b²).
Key relations
The area of an equilateral triangle of side a is (√3/4)a².
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+b), area is l×b, and diagonal is √(l²+b²).
Perimeter of a square is 4×side, area is side², and diagonal is side√2.
