 Area and perimeter

Area of a rectangle The product of the measure of the base

and its height, or length and width;
A = bh = lw.

Composite figure A figure composed of different shapes

Area using a sum Divide a shape into smaller shapes, de-

termine the area of each smaller shape,
and add their areas together.

Area using a difference Form a new larger figure, find the area
of a portion that when subtracted from
the area of the large figure, results in
the original figure.

Perimeter of a rectangle Sum of the side lengths of its boundary;

P = 2l + 2w.

Area of a parallelogram The product of the base and height;

A = bh.

Area of a trapezoid Add the bases and multiply that sum by

1
half the height; A = (b1 + b2)h.

 Area and perimeter

Area of a triangle Half the product of the base and height;

A = bh.

Radius The length of any line segment from the

center of a circle to a point on the cir-
cle.

Diameter Any chord that passes through the cen-

ter of a circle; d = 2r.

Circumference The distance around a circle;

C = πd = 2πr.

Area of a circle The product of π and the square of the

radius; A = πr 2.

Circumference of a The length is one-fourth of the circum-

quarter of a circle ference a circle.
