Geometry: Shapes, Area, and Perimeter

Exploring Shapes and Space

Geometry deals with points, lines, shapes, angles, and space. You'll often find questions about the area and perimeter of shapes.

Area and Perimeter

  • Area: How much space a shape covers.
  • Perimeter: The distance around a shape.

Common Formulas

  • Rectangle area: \( A = l \times w \)
  • Rectangle perimeter: \( P = 2(l + w) \)
  • Triangle area: \( A = \frac{1}{2}bh \)

Everyday Uses

Geometry helps with tasks like painting a wall, building a fence, or buying new carpet.

Examples

  • Finding how much paint is needed to cover a rectangular wall.

  • Calculating the length of fence to enclose a garden.

In a Nutshell

Geometry lets you measure and understand all kinds of shapes and spaces.
