The closed 2-D shapes are referred to as plane figures.
Here “C” is the boundary of the above figure and the area inside the boundary is the region of this figure. Point D comes in the area of the given figure.
If we go around the figure along its boundary to form a closed figure then the distance covered is the perimeter of that figure. Hence the Perimeter refers to the length of the boundary of a closed figure.
If a figure is made up of line segments only then we can find its perimeter by adding the length of all the sides of the given figure.
Example
Find the Perimeter of the given figure.
Solution
Perimeter = Sum of all the sides
= (12 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 10 + 3 + 15 + 12) m
= 68 m
A rectangle is a closed figure with two pairs of equal opposite sides.
Perimeter of a rectangle = Sum of all sides
= length + breadth + length + breadth
Thus, Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)
Example: 1
The length and breadth of a rectangular swimming pool are 16 and 12 meters respectively .find the perimeter of the pool.
Solution:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)
Perimeter of the pool = 2 × (16 + 12)
= 2 × 28
= 56 meters
Example: 2
Find the cost of fencing a rectangular farm of length 24 meters and breadth 18 meters at 8/- per meter.
Perimeter of the farm = 2 × (24 + 18)
= 2 × 42
= 84 meter
Cost of fencing = 84 × 8
= Rs. 672
Thus the cost of fencing the farm is Rs. 672/-.
Figures with equal length of sides and an equal measure of angles are known as Regular Closed Figures or Regular Polygon.
Perimeter of Regular Polygon = Number of sides × Length of one side
Square is a regular polygon with 4 equal sides.
Perimeter of square = side + side + side + side
Thus, Perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side
Find the perimeter of a square having side length 25 cm.
Perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side
Perimeter of square = 4 × 25
= 100 cm
An equilateral triangle is a regular polygon with three equal sides and angles.
Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 × length of a side
Find the perimeter of a triangle having each side length 13 cm.
Perimeter of triangle = 3 × 13
= 39 cm
A regular pentagon is a polygon with 5 equal sides and angles.
Perimeter of a regular pentagon = 5 × length of one side
Find the perimeter of a pentagon having side length 9 cm.
Perimeter of a regular pentagon = 5 × 9
= 45 cm
A regular hexagon is a polygon with 6 equal sides and angles.
Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 6 × Length of one side
Find the perimeter of a hexagon having side length 15cm.
Perimeter of a regular hexagon = 6 × 15
= 90 cm
A regular octagon is a polygon with 8 equal sides and angles.
Perimeter of a regular octagon = 8 × length of one side
Find the perimeter of an octagon having side length 7cm.
Perimeter of a regular octagon = 8 × 7
= 56 cm
Area refers to the surface enclosed by a closed figure.
To find the area of any irregular closed figure, we can put them on a graph paper with the square of 1 cm × 1 cm .then estimate the area of that figure by counting the area of the squares covered by the figure.
Here one square is taken as 1 sq.unit.
Find the area of the given figure. (1 square = 1 m2)
The given figure is made up of line segments and is covered with some full squares and some half squares.
Full squares in figure = 32
Half squares in figure = 21
Area covered by full squares = 32 × 1 sq. unit = 32 sq. unit.
Area covered by half squares = 21 × (1/2) sq. unit. = 10.5 sq. unit.
Total area covered by figure = 32 + 10.5 = 42.5 sq. unit.
Area of a rectangle = (length × breadth)
Find the area of a rectangle whose length and breadth are 20 cm and 12 cm respectively.
Length of the rectangle = 20 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 12 cm
Area of the rectangle = length × breadth
= 20 cm × 12 cm
= 240 sq cm.
To find the length of a rectangle if breadth and area are given:
What will be the length of the rectangle if its breadth is 6 m and the area is 48sq.m?
Length = 48/6
= 8 m
To find the breadth of the rectangle if length and area are given:
What will be the breadth of the rectangle if its length is 8 m and the area is 81 sq.m?
Breadth = 81/8
= 9 m
Area of a square is the region covered by the boundary of a square.
Area of a square = side × side
Calculate the area of a square of side 13 cm.
= 13 × 13
= 169 cm2.
