This document provides formulas for calculating the perimeter and area of basic shapes like triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids. It explains that the perimeter of any polygon is the sum of its sides, and gives the specific formulas for finding the perimeter of a square, rectangle, and regular polygon. Formulas are also provided for calculating the area of triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and how to find the width of a rectangle given its area and base. The Triangle Inequality Theorem is also stated.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x(l+w) (l is length and w is width) Perimeter of a regular polygon = side length x number of sides
Area of a triangle = ½ x b x h (b is base and h is height)
Area of a square = s x s (s is side length) Area of a rectangle = l x w (l is length and w is width) Area of a parallelogram = b x h (b is base and h is height) Area of a trapezoid = ½ x h x (b1+b2) (h is height, b1 and b2 are the two parallel sides in the trapezoid) To find the width of the rectangle, you have to divide area by base Here also is the Triangle Inequality Theorem: In any triangle, when you add up any two sides it will be greater than the length of the `(a+b>c)
