Measuring Size

How Big Is It? Measuring in Geometry

Geometry helps us figure out how long, wide, or tall things are!

Key Measurements

  • Perimeter: The distance all the way around a shape.
  • Area: The amount of surface a shape covers.
  • Volume: How much space a 3D object takes up.

Simple Formulas

  • Perimeter of a rectangle: \( P = 2(l + w) \)
  • Area of a rectangle: \( A = l \times w \)
  • Volume of a cube: \( V = s^3 \)

Measuring Tools

Use rulers, tape measures, or measuring cups to find length, area, or volume in real life!

Why We Measure

Measuring helps us build, cook, and play with precision.

Examples

  • Measuring the length of your desk using a ruler.

  • Calculating how much paint you need to cover a wall.

In a Nutshell

Measuring lets us find how big or small shapes and objects are.
