Basic Concepts

Geometry and Measurement

Shapes and Their Properties

Geometry is all about shapes and how we measure them! Key shapes include squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and more.

  • Perimeter: The distance around a shape.
  • Area: The amount of space inside a shape.
  • Volume: The space inside a 3D object.

Key Formulas

  • Area of a rectangle: \(A = l \times w\)
  • Circumference of a circle: \(C = 2\pi r\)
  • Volume of a box: \(V = l \times w \times h\)

Measurement in Daily Life

Geometry and measurement are used when decorating a room, building furniture, or planning a garden. Knowing how to measure and calculate ensures everything fits perfectly!

Examples

  • Calculating the area of a rug: \(5 \text{ ft} \times 8 \text{ ft} = 40 \text{ sq ft}\).

  • Finding the perimeter of a fence for a garden: \(2(10 + 5) = 30\) meters.

In a Nutshell

Geometry and measurement help you understand and work with shapes, spaces, and sizes.
