U9: Area and Perimeter


Key Learning Points:
  • Perimeter = Add up all the exposed sides
  • Area of Rectangle = Length x Breadth
  • Area of a Square = Length x Length
  • Area of a Triangle = 1/2 x Base x Perpendicular Height
  • Area of a Circle = 'pi' x radius x radius
  • Break up the irregular figure into shapes which you are familiar with.
  • Fill up the missing dimensions.
  • Apply the respective area formulae.
  • Add up or subtract the areas (depending on the questions)

Do be familiar with your multiplication table:

  • 1 x 1 = 1
  • 2 x 2 = 4
  • 3 x 3 = 9
  • 4 x 4 =16
  • 5 x 5 = 25
  • 6 x 6 = 36
  • 7 x 7 = 49
  • 8 x 8 = 64
  • 9 x 9 = 81
  • 10 x 10 = 100
  • 11 x 11 = 121
  • 12 x 12 = 144
