Geometry Essentials

Shapes and Their Properties

Geometry is all about shapes, sizes, and how they relate to each other. Common shapes include triangles, rectangles, circles, and polygons.

Perimeter and Area

  • Perimeter is the distance around a shape.
  • Area is the space inside a shape.

For a rectangle:

  • Perimeter: \(2(l + w)\)
  • Area: \(l \times w\)

For a circle:

  • Circumference: \(2\pi r\)
  • Area: \(\pi r^2\)

Applications in Life

Geometry is used in art, construction, sports, and more! Whether you're measuring for a new carpet or designing a logo, geometry is there.

Examples

  • Calculating the area of a bedroom to buy the right amount of carpet

  • Finding the perimeter of a garden to build a fence around it

In a Nutshell

Geometry teaches you how to measure and understand shapes and spaces.
