MODULE 3, Lesson 2
Linear Measurement : Perimeter, Circumference, Area
Introduction
In this module, we are going to learn linear measurement focusing on the perimeter,
circumference and area . You will also have the ideas that you can use to teach your pupils in the
future.

Instruction
Read the discussion and study to be able to answer the questions on the assessment that will
be given online. Perform the required tasks and submit the required outputs as per instruction. Follow
all the instructions to avoid problems.

Learning Outcome

Upon completion of this module, the students must have:

1. solved linear measurement involving perimeter and circumference;
2. used the formula in finding the area of shapes; and
3. reflected on how it can be learned by their future pupils.

Learning Content

Perimeter :

Perimeter is a path that surrounds a two dimensional shape. The term may be used
either for the path or its length it can be thought of as the length of the outline
of a shape.

Circumference :

The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference. In other words,

the distance around the edge of a circle or any curvy shape.

Area :

Area of an object is defined as the space occupied by the object on a flat

surface. The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares
of a fixed size.
Perimeter, Circumference and Area Formulas
Formulas for the perimeter P, area A, circumference C of some common figures
are given below.

Square :

side length = s
Perimeter = 4s
Area = s2

Rectangle :

length = l and width = w

Perimeter = 2l + 2w
Area = lw
Triangle :

side lengths a, b and c, base = b and height = h

Perimeter = a + b + c

Area = (1/2) ⋅ b ⋅ h

Circle :

radius = r

Circumference = 2πr

Area = πr2
The measurements of perimeter and circumference use units such as centimeters,
meters, kilometers, inches, feet, yards, and miles. The measurements of area use
units such as square centimeters (cm2), square meters(m2), and so on.

Example 1 :

Find the perimeter and area of a rectangle of length 12 inches and width 5 inches.

Solution :

Draw a rectangle and label the length and width.

Perimeter = 2l + 2w Area = lw

= 2(12) + 2(5) = 12 ⋅ 5 

= 24 + 10 = 60

= 34

So, the perimeter is 34 inches and the area is 60 square inches.

Example 2 :

Find the diameter, radius, circumference and area of the circle shown below. use
3.14 as an approximation for π.

Solution :

From the diagram shown above, we can see that the diameter of the circle is
d = 13 - 5 = 8 cm
The radius is one half the diameter. So, the radius is
r = d/2 = 8/2 = 4 cm
Using the formula for circumference, we have
C = 2πr ≈ 2(3.14)(4)
C ≈ 25.1 cm
Using the formulas for area, we have
A = πr2 ≈ (3.14)(4)2
A ≈ 50.24 square cm.
Example 3 :

Find the area and perimeter of the triangle shown below.

Using the formula for perimeter of the triangle, we have

P=a+b+c

=5+8+5

= 18 cm

Using the formula for area of the triangle, we have

A = (1/2) ⋅ b ⋅ h

= (1/2) ⋅ 8 ⋅ 6

= 24 cm2
