Geometry: Shapes and Measurement

Exploring Shapes

Geometry is all about shapes, sizes, and their properties. You'll learn about triangles, rectangles, circles, and more.

Perimeter, Area, and Volume

  • Perimeter: The distance around a shape (\( P = 2l + 2w \) for rectangles).
  • Area: The space inside a shape (\( A = l \times w \) for rectangles, \( A = \pi r^2 \) for circles).
  • Volume: The space a 3D object takes up (\( V = l \times w \times h \) for rectangular prisms).

Geometry Everywhere

From designing a garden to building models, geometry helps you measure and create!

Examples

  • Find the area of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 3 cm.

  • If a box is 2 m long, 1 m wide, and 1 m high, what is its volume?
