Shapes and Space

Geometry in 7th grade covers area (space inside a shape), volume (space inside a solid), and surface area (total area covering a solid).

Key Formulas

• Area of a rectangle: \( A = l \times w \)
• Volume of a rectangular prism: \( V = l \times w \times h \)
• Surface area: Add up the areas of all faces.

Where You'll Use This

• Designing a garden (area)
• Packing boxes (volume)
• Wrapping gifts (surface area)

Visualization
