What to Focus On

  • Perimeter is the length of the boundary of a plane figure.
  • Area is the measure of the surface enclosed by the boundary.
  • Perimeter uses units like cm and m.
  • Area of triangle = 1/2 × base × corresponding height.
  • Altitude means perpendicular from the opposite vertex to the base.
  • Any side of a triangle can be taken as the base.
  • Semi-perimeter s = half the sum of the three sides.
  • Perimeter of a triangle = 2s.
  • Heron's formula helps when three sides are known.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perimeter and area mean the same thing.

Any answer with the right number is correct, even if the unit is wrong.

In a triangle, only one side can be the base.
