• Perimeter of a square
• Perimeter of an equilateral triangle
• Perimeter of a regular pentagon
• Regular closed figure
• Area of a rectangle

Perimeter

• Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides of a closed geometric shape. If someone starts walking along the boundary of a geometrical figure from a particular point and comes back to it, the distance covered is called the perimeter of the shape.

• Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + breadth)
• Perimeter of a square = 4 x length of its one side
• Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 x length of one of its edges
• Perimeter of a regular pentagon = 5 x length of one side

Regular Closed Figure

• A geometric figure with sides of equal length and angles of equal measure is called a regular closed figure.

Area Of a Closed Figure

• Area of a closed figure refers to the amount of the total surface area it encloses with its sides.

• A closed figure can be a rectangle, a square, a triangle or any polygon.

• The area of a rectangle = length x breadth
• The area of a square = length of side x length of side = (length of a side)2
• The area of a triangle = 12 breath height

Method of Calculating the Area of a Shape on a Squared Paper

• Take a squared paper where every square measures 1 unit x 1 unit.
• The area covered by every square is 1 sq. unit.
• Place the shape on the paper and gently trace the outline.
• Avoid the parts of the shape which are less than half a square.
• Count it as one square if any region of the shape covers more than half a square.
• Now, note the total number of squares and half squares.
• Calculate their areas.
• The sum of the areas of the squares and half squares will be the area of the given geometric figure.
