Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson you will be able to calculate area, perimeter, and volume for different shapes, including the area of a triangle, and apply these skills to real-life problems.

E3 Use a suitable instrument to measure mass and length E3.19 Sort 2-D and 3-D shapes using properties, including lines of symmetry, length, right angles, angles, including in rectangles and triangles

L1 Calculate the area and perimeter of simple shapes including those that are made up of a combination of rectangles and Calculate the volumes of cubes and cuboids

What is Perimeter?

Perimeter is the total distance around the edge of a shape. For example, to find the perimeter of a rectangle, add together all four sides.

What is Area?

Area is the amount of space inside a shape. For rectangles and squares, multiply length by width to find the area.

Finding Area of a Triangle

To find the area of a triangle, use the formula: Area = (base × height) f7 2.

Try It Out: Quick Questions

A square has sides of 5m. What is its area?

A rectangle is 6cm by 4cm. What is its perimeter?

Perimeter

What is Volume?

Volume measures how much space a 3D shape takes up. For a cuboid: Volume = length × width × height.
