AREA & PERIMETER & VOLUME

By: Deena Zaroo

 AREA OF SQUARES & RECTANGLES

1. 5c
m
1. Multiply the width by the
5c
height
m
NOTE: The units
of measurement
2. 6cm for area is
ALWAYS cm2
2c 2. Multiply the width by the
m height
 AREA OF A TRIANGLE

1.
6cm
Multiply the base (5) by the
perpendicular height (6)
NOTE: The units
5cm of measurement
2. 30 = 15 for area is
Next, half the answer you got, ALWAYS cm2
2
which shouldve been 30
 PERIMETER OF A SQUARE
1. 5cm

1. Add all of the lengths and widths of

5cm
the shape together. In this case, your
answer would be 20cm

2.

2. In this case since you know the

measurements of the length & the width and
you know that all the sides of a square are
equal, you can work out that the other sides
are also 5cm too
 VOLUME OF A CUBE

1.

H= 1. Multiply 5, 2 & 5 NOTE: Formulae

5 together for calculating
the volume=
W=2 length
L=
5 multiplied by
2. 5*2*5=50 CM3
the width
2. Ensure you always add cm3
when calculating volume multiplied by
the height
