Exploring Area and Perimeter in Geometry

This lesson covers the concepts of area and perimeter, including how to calculate the perimeter of various shapes and the circumference of circles. It explains the formulas for finding the area of circles, rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles, and discusses the importance of using perpendicular base and height. The lesson also includes examples of converting units and finding the area of irregular figures by breaking them into simpler shapes.

How do you find the perimeter of a shape?

• Divide the diameter by pi

• Square the radius of the shape

• Add up all the side lengths

• Multiply the base by the height
