Factors Multiples

The document discusses key concepts related to perimeter and area of different shapes. It defines perimeter as the distance along the line forming a closed figure when going around it once, or the sum of all side lengths. It provides formulas for finding the perimeter of rectangles, squares, equilateral triangles, regular pentagons, hexagons, and octagons. It defines area as the amount of surface enclosed by a plane figure, measured in square units. It provides strategies for calculating area using a square grid and formulas for finding the area of rectangles and squares. It also explains how to calculate the area of a combined figure by dividing it into rectangles and squares.

Key Points
1. Perimeter is the distance along the line forming a closed figure when you go round the
figure once. Or the sum of the lengths of all the sides of a closed figure is called its
perimeter.
2.

(i) Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)


(ii) Perimeter of a square = 4 length of a side.

(iii) Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 length of a side.

NA

(v) Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 6 length of a side.

AB

(iv) Perimeter of a regular pentagon = 5 length of a side.

(vi) Perimeter of a regular octagon = 8 length of a side.

IO

AT

UL

3. The amount of surface enclosed by a plane figure is called its area. It is measured in
square units of length.
4. To calculate the area of a figure using a squared paper, we proceed as follows.

ED

(i) Count the complete squares.

(iii) Count a half square as half.

RN

(ii) Count the squares more than half as full squares.

TE

(iv) Neglect the square which is less than half.


5. Area of a rectangle = length breadth.

IN

6. Area of a square = side side

7. To calculate the area of a combined figure, we divide the given figure into rectangles and
squares and calculate the area of each figure. The sum of these areas will be equal to the
area of the combined figure.
