Perimeters of Triangles and Quadrilaterals
The Perimeters of Triangles and Quadrilaterals
Find the perimeters of triangles and quadrilaterals
Perimeter – is defined as the total length of a closed shape. It is obtained by adding the lengths of the sides inclosing the shape. Perimeter can be measured in 𝑚𝑚 , 𝑐𝑚 ,𝑑𝑚 ,𝑚,𝑘𝑚 e. t. c
Examples
Example 1
Find the perimeters of the following shapes
PERIMETERS AND AREAS
Solution
- Perimeter = 7𝑚 + 7𝑚 + 3𝑚 + 3𝑚 = 20 𝑚
- Perimeter = 2𝑚 + 4𝑚 + 5𝑚 = 11 𝑚
- Perimeter = 3𝑐𝑚 + 6𝑐𝑚 + 4𝑐𝑚 + 5𝑐𝑚 + 5 𝑐𝑚 + 4𝑐𝑚 = 27 𝑐𝑚
Circumference of a Circle
The Value of Pi ( Π)
Estimate the value of Pi ( Π)
The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as3.14159.
It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid 18th
century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi” (/paɪ/).
