1. Perimeter
Area
Volume

2. The measure of the distance around a closed figure.
Perimeter
The measure of the distance around a closed figure.

3. Think of perimeter like a fence around a yard.

4. On crime shows you often hear law enforcement say, “We need to set up a perimeter.”

5. How do you find the perimeter of a figure?
To find the perimeter of any closed figure simply add the length of each side of the figure together.
2 cm
3 cm
Perimeter = s1 + s2 + s3
P = 2 cm + 2 cm + 3 cm
P = 7 cm

LABEL your answer

7. The amount of surface inside a closed figure.
Area
The amount of surface inside a closed figure.

8. Think of area like the amount of carpet you would need in a room

9. Parallelograms What polygons are parallelograms? 1) Square
2) Rectangle
3) Rhombus
4) Parallelogram

10. Parallelograms Do all parallelograms have the same formula for area?
We know that squares and rectangles use the formula Area = base • height
Let’s use our GeoBoards to see if the area of a rhombus or parallelogram is also base • height

11. How Do You Find the Area of a Parallelogram?
To find the area of any parallelogram use the formula Area = base ● height and solve using the dimensions given.
REMEMBER F.S.S.L!!!
5 in
3 in
Area = bh
A = 5 in • 3 in
A = 15 in2

12. How Do You Find the Area of a Parallelogram?
To find the area of any parallelogram use the formula Area = base ● height and solve using the dimensions given.
6 in
REMEMBER F.S.S.L!!!
Area = bh
A = 6 in • 4 in
A = 24 in2
5 in
4 in

13. Triangles
We can use the formula for a parallelogram to help us find the area of any triangle.
Let’s use our GeoBoards to help us determine this formula.

14. How do you find the area of a triangle?
To find the area of a triangle use the formula Area = ½ base ● height and solve using the dimensions given.
REMEMBER F.S.S.L!!!
A = ½bh
A= ½ • 8ft • 10ft
A = 4ft • 10ft
A = 40 ft2
6 ft
10 ft
8 ft

15. 8 cm
8 cm
16 cm

16. How do you find the area of a trapezoid?
base2
base1
base2

17. The amount of space in a 3-D object.
Volume
The amount of space in a 3-D object.

18. Think of volume like the amount of liquid you could pour into a cup

19. How do you find the volume of a rectangular prism?
To find the volume of a rectangular prism use the formula Volume = length ● width ● height and solve using the dimensions given.
REMEMBER F.S.S.L!!!
Volume = lwh
V = 6 in • 2 in • 4 in
V = 48 in3
4 in
2 in
6 in

20. Labels
Depending on the measurement you are solving for (area, volume, or perimeter) your label will change.
Perimeter = unit
Area = unit2
Volume = unit3
