Don’t Get Scared!!!
•Evil mathematicians have created formulas to save you time. But, they always change the letters of the formulas to scare you!

Perimeter
•Any shape’s “perimeter” is the outside of the shape…like a fence around a yard.
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com4
Perimeter
•To calculate the perimeter of any shape, just add up “each” line segment of the “fence”.

Perimeter
•Triangles have 3 sides…add up each side’s length.
88
88+8+8=24The Perimeter is 24

Perimeter
•A square has 4 sides of a fence

12+12+12+12=48

Perimeter•Sometimes, problems may
only give you two measurements for a square or rectangle.
•No problem…use the formula for squares/rectangles (only!)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com8
Remember• Squares - ALL sides are equal…so if
they give you one side, you know ALL the sides
• Length=the Largest side• If they “leave” numbers out, they
are equal to their opposite side. If they give you the bottom of a square/rectangle type shape then the top is the same

Square/Rectangle Formula• Perimeter=2(Length+Width)• P= 2(25+14) P=2(20+20)• P= 50+28 P=40+40• P= 78 P=80

Other shapes
•Just add up EACH segment
10
8 sides, each side 10 so 10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10=80

Odd shapes• Count ALL sides• Remember if one side blank, it’s equal to its
opposite

25+25=50 (for Length) 15+5+15+5=40 (for Width)
Perimeter=90

Area
•Area is the ENTIRE INSIDE of a shape
•It is always measured in “squares” (sq. inch, sq ft)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com14
AREA• Square units means that “that” many squares fit inside that
shape (if measured in feet…it’s feet…if meters…it’s meters. In this example the area is 4 square units…note 4 squares fit)
1
2 units (ft, in, m)

Area of Squares/Rectangles
•Length x Width=Area
2
Length(2) xWidth(2) = 4 square units

Parallelogram Area
•Same idea as squares & rectangles, but they change the words to Base (length:bottom of shape) and height (width)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com17
Parallelogram Area
•Area=Base x Height•(Area=length x width)
BASE (length)
Height (width)
8
5
Base 8 x Height 5 = Area 40
The diagonal line is NOTthe height!!!

REAL formula for area of squares
•Area= S^2•Area= Side x Side (side squared) (just a different way of saying length x width) Side one
Side two
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com19
Different Names/Same idea•Length x Width = Area
•Side x Side = Area
•Base x Height = Area
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com20
Area of a Triangle
•½ Base x Height = Area•(It’s ½ because ½ of the “square” is missing)
Base
Height
Height
Base
8
5
½ Base x Height = Area½ (8) x 5 = Area 4 x 5 = 20

Area of a Circle
•Pi= 3.14•Radius: from center (origin) of circle to ANY side
•Area= pi x (Radius x Radius)
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com22
Circumference of a Circle• Perimeter/Circumference = pi x
diameter• Pi is always 3.14• Circumference is a fancy name for
perimeter• The diameter is a line from one side to
the other side of a circle through its origin (It’s twice the radius)
If the radius is 5, then the diameter is 10
Free powerpoint template: www.brainybetty.com23
Area of a circle
•Area = piR^2•Pi = 3.14 and R=Radius
Radius
5
Area=3.14 x (5 x 5) Perimeter = 3.14 x 10

You’re Done
•Squares, rectangles and parallelograms area are almost the same (LxW)
•Triangles are ½ cause your missing ½
•Circles have fancy names, but just follow the formula
