Measurement of Area, Perimeter, and Volume

Area of a Rectangle
• The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure.
• The formula is: A = L x W
• Area is measured in square units.
Area of a Square
• The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure.
• The formula is: A = s² or A = s x s
• Area is measured in square units.
Area of a Triangle
• The number of square units needed to cover the surface of a figure.
• The formula is: A =½bh or A = bh
• Area is measured in square units.
Volume
• The volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
• The formula is V = L x W x H
• Volume is measured in cubic units.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
• The perimeter is the distance around a figure.
• The formulas are:
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2 (L + W)
• Measured in single units.
Perimeter of a Square
• The perimeter is the distance around a figure.
• The formula is:
P = 4s
• Measured in single units.
Perimeter of a Triangle
• The perimeter is the distance around a figure.
• Add up all three sides. P = A + B + C
• Measured in single units.
