Perimeter – (P) (P) The distance around a figure. 10 ft. 6 ft ft.

copyright©amberpasillas2010 PERIMETER: Is the distance around a figure. When you add the sides you are adding the units. When you add units, your units DO NOT CHANGE! If this rectangle has units in inches, then you are adding in + in + in + in = in You must include units in every answer!

copyright©amberpasillas2010 Area of a Rectangle height base (h) (b) A = bh The area of this rectangle is 8 squares, or 8 units squared Area is in units 2 because you are multiplying units.

copyright©amberpasillas2010 A square is a special rectangle Since the base and the height are the same size, we call them sides (s) instead of base and height. s height = s s base = s A= s 2 Area of a Square

copyright©amberpasillas2010 Area of a Triangle Given a right triangle Make a similar triangle, flip it and put both triangles next to each other What polygon is this? A Rectangle

copyright©amberpasillas2010 Area of a Triangle What is the formula for the area of a triangle ? We can use the formula for area of a rectangle to find the formula for area of a triangle. Two triangles make one rectangle. We want to find half of the area of the rectangle. base height b h

copyright©amberpasillas2010 Draw a straight line from the top corner perpendicular to the base Cut that triangle and move it to the other side What shape does it make? Rectangle Area for a Parallelogram

copyright©amberpasillas2010 What is the formula for area of a parallelogram? A parallelogram has the same area as a rectangle h base = b height = h h b Area for a Parallelogram

copyright©amberpasillas2010 Notice that the trapezoid is half the area of the parallelogram. It takes two trapezoids to make one parallelogram. (b 1 + b 2 ) h Given our original trapezoid Put together with a similar flipped trapezoid, we found it made a parallelogram. We are going to use the area of a parallelogram to find the area of a trapezoid. Area of a Trapezoid
