What to Focus On

  • Rectangle perimeter = 2(l+b), not length + breadth.
  • Square area = a^2 and diagonal = a√2.
  • Triangle area using base and height = 1/2 × b × h.

  • Heron's Formula gives area from three sides only.
  • s = (a+b+c)/2 is the semi-perimeter.
  • The square root must be taken after multiplying all four factors.

  • Outer rectangular path area = outer rectangle area - inner rectangle area.
  • Cross paths formula = w(l+b) - w².
  • The simplified cross-path formula is w(l+b-w).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The perimeter of a rectangle is length + breadth.

s in Heron's formula is the full perimeter.

Any triangle area problem can be solved with base × height even when the height is not given.
