What are rectangle and square

Rectangle is a quadrilateral with all right angles. This means that opposite sides are equal to each other.

Square is a rectangle with equal sides and equal angles. It is called a regular quadrilateral.


Quadrangles, including rectangles and squares, are designated by 4 letters - vertices. Latin letters are used to designate vertices: A, B, C, D...

Example.

It reads like this: quadrilateral ABCD; square EFGH.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle? Formula for calculating perimeter

Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the rectangle or the sum of the length and width multiplied by 2.

The perimeter is indicated by a Latin letter P. Since the perimeter is the length of all sides of the rectangle, the perimeter is written in units of length: mm, cm, m, dm, km.

For example, the perimeter of rectangle ABCD is denoted as P ABCD, where A, B, C, D are the vertices of the rectangle.

Let's write down the formula for the perimeter of a quadrilateral ABCD:

P ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 2 * AB + 2 * BC = 2 * (AB + BC)


Example.
Given a rectangle ABCD with sides: AB=CD=5 cm and AD=BC=3 cm.
Let's define P ABCD.

Solution:
1. Let's draw a rectangle ABCD with the original data.
2. Let’s write a formula to calculate the perimeter of a given rectangle:

P ABCD = 2 * (AB + BC)


P ABCD = 2 * (5 cm + 3 cm) = 2 * 8 cm = 16 cm


Answer: P ABCD = 16 cm.

Formula for calculating the perimeter of a square

We have a formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle.

P ABCD = 2 * (AB + BC)


Let's use it to determine the perimeter of a square. Considering that all sides of the square are equal, we get:

P ABCD = 4 * AB


Example.
Given a square ABCD with a side equal to 6 cm. Let us determine the perimeter of the square.

Solution.
1. Let's draw a square ABCD with the original data.

2. Let us recall the formula for calculating the perimeter of a square:

P ABCD = 4 * AB


3. Let’s substitute our data into the formula:

P ABCD = 4 * 6 cm = 24 cm

Answer: P ABCD = 24 cm.

Problems to find the perimeter of a rectangle

1. Measure the width and length of the rectangles. Determine their perimeter.

2. Draw a rectangle ABCD with sides 4 cm and 6 cm. Determine the perimeter of the rectangle.

3. Draw a square SEOM with a side of 5 cm. Determine the perimeter of the square.

Where is the calculation of the perimeter of a rectangle used?

1. A plot of land has been given; it needs to be surrounded by a fence. How long will the fence be?


In this task, it is necessary to accurately calculate the perimeter of the site so as not to buy excess material for building a fence.

2. Parents decided to renovate the children's room. You need to know the perimeter of the room and its area in order to correctly calculate the amount of wallpaper.
Determine the length and width of the room in which you live. Determine the perimeter of your room.

What is the area of ​​a rectangle?

Square is a numerical characteristic of a figure. Area is measured in square units of length: cm 2, m 2, dm 2, etc. (centimeter squared, meter squared, decimeter squared, etc.)
In calculations it is denoted by a Latin letter S.

To determine the area of ​​a rectangle, multiply the length of the rectangle by its width.
The area of ​​the rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length of the AC by the width of the CM. Let's write this down as a formula.

S AKMO = AK * KM


Example.
What is the area of ​​rectangle AKMO if its sides are 7 cm and 2 cm?

S AKMO = AK * KM = 7 cm * 2 cm = 14 cm 2.

Answer: 14 cm 2.

Formula for calculating the area of ​​a square

The area of ​​a square can be determined by multiplying the side by itself.

Example.
In this example, the area of ​​the square is calculated by multiplying the side AB by the width BC, but since they are equal, the result is multiplying the side AB by AB.

S ABCO = AB * BC = AB * AB


Example.
Determine the area of ​​a square AKMO with a side of 8 cm.

S AKMO = AK * KM = 8 cm * 8 cm = 64 cm 2

Answer: 64 cm 2.

Problems to find the area of ​​a rectangle and square

1. Given a rectangle with sides 20 mm and 60 mm. Calculate its area. Write your answer in square centimeters.

2. A dacha plot measuring 20 m by 30 m was purchased. Determine the area of ​​the dacha plot and write the answer in square centimeters.

Perimeter is a geometric term that often appears in problems. To understand what a perimeter is, you should draw an arbitrary polygon and arm yourself with a ruler. Translated from Greek, this term means “I measure around.”

How to calculate perimeter

The perimeter is indicated by a Latin letter P. It can be measured in centimeters, millimeters, meters or decimeters. To find the perimeter, measure the length of all sides of the polygon. The resulting values ​​must be added. The final sum will be the answer to the question: “What is the perimeter of the polygon?”

Perimeter is the length of the lines that limit a closed figure (square, rectangle, triangle, etc.).


For example, in front of you is a polygon with sides of 10, 12, 13 and 11 cm. We add the above numbers (10+12+13+11) and get the sum 46. This is the perimeter of the polygon.

For the convenience of calculating the perimeter in geometry, there are a number of formulas. Each formula corresponds to a specific figure.


Perimeter and area of ​​a square

This is the sum of its four sides. As we know, all sides of a square are equal in size. Therefore, we can find out the perimeter of a square by multiplying its side length by four:

P= a+a+a+a

For example, we have a square with a side of 10 cm.

Answer: 40 cm

P= 10+10+10+10

P=40

Answer: 40 cm


To understand what perimeter and area are, you should understand that perimeter calculates the length of the contour of a figure, and area is the size of its entire surface.

To find out the area of ​​a square, you need to use a simple formula:

S is the area, and is the side of the square.

For example, the problem states that the length of the side of the square is 10 cm.

S= 100cm 2

Answer: 100 cm 2


Perimeter and area of ​​a rectangle

The sides of a rectangle that are opposite each other and have the same length are called opposite. These are length and width, they are conventionally designated by the Latin letters a and b. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle looks like this:

P= (a+b)*2

Using this formula, we first find the sum of the width and length and then multiply it by two.

For example, we have a rectangle with a length of 6 cm and a width of 2 cm.

P= (6+2) * 2

P= 16

Answer: 16 cm


To find out the area of ​​a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. The formula looks like this:

For example, the task conditions say that the rectangle has a length of 5 cm and a width of 2 cm. We change the letters a and b to the indicated numbers.

S= 5*2

S=10cm 2

Answer: 10 cm 2

Perimeter of a circle (circumference)

Each circle has a center. The distance from the center of the circle to any point located on the circle is called the radius of the circle. Often students confuse the concepts of “circle” and “circle” and try to determine the area of ​​a circle. This is a serious mistake. You should separate the concepts of “circle” and “circle” in your head. A circle does not and cannot have area, it only has length.

To find the perimeter of a circle, you need to calculate its circumference. There is a formula for finding the circumference of a circle:

L = 2πr

L- circumference

π is the number “pi”, a mathematical constant. It is equal to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the length of its diameter. The ancient name for the number "pi" is Ludolph's number. This number is irrational; its decimal representation after the dot never ends.

π = 3.141 592 653 589 793 238 462 643 383 279 502

For ease of calculation, the value 3.14 is usually used


R is the radius of the circle

D– Circle diameter

So, to determine the perimeter of a circle, we need to find the product of the radius and 2π. If the problem specifies a diameter, then

For example, in front of us is a circle with a radius of 3 cm. Let’s find its perimeter.

L= 2*3,14*3

L=6 π

L=6*3.14

L= 18.84 cm

PTo= 18.84 cm

Answer: 18.84 cm


The difference between perimeter and area

Area is the size of the surface of a figure, and perimeter is the sum of its boundaries.

Area is always measured in square units (cm 2, m 2, mm 2). The perimeter is measured in units of length - centimeters, millimeters, meters, decimeters.

Etc.:

If you look closely at all these figures, you can identify two of them, which are formed by closed lines (a circle and a triangle). These figures have a kind of border separating what is inside from what is outside. That is, the boundary divides the plane into two parts: an internal and external area relative to the figure to which it belongs:

Perimeter

The perimeter is the closed boundary of a flat geometric figure, separating its internal region from the external one.

Any closed geometric figure has a perimeter:

In the figure, the perimeters are highlighted with a red line. Note that the perimeter of a circle is often called the length.

The perimeter is measured in length units: mm, cm, dm, m, km.

For all polygons, finding the perimeter comes down to adding the lengths of all sides, that is, the perimeter of a polygon is always equal to the sum of the lengths of its sides. When calculating, perimeter is often denoted by the capital letter P:

Square

Area is the part of the plane occupied by a closed flat geometric figure.

Any flat closed geometric figure has a certain area. In the drawings, the area of ​​geometric figures is the internal region, that is, that part of the plane that is inside the perimeter.

Measure area figures - means finding how many times another figure, taken as a unit of measurement, is placed in a given figure. Typically, the unit of area is taken to be a square, the side of which is equal to the unit of length: millimeter, centimeter, meter, etc.

The figure shows a square centimeter. - a square in which each side is 1 cm long:

Area is measured in square units of length. Area units include: mm 2, cm 2, m 2, km 2, etc.

One of the basic concepts of mathematics is the perimeter of a rectangle. There are many problems on this topic, the solution of which cannot be done without the perimeter formula and the skills to calculate it.

Basic Concepts

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which all the angles are right and the opposite sides are equal and parallel in pairs. In our life, many figures have the shape of a rectangle, for example, the surface of a table, a notebook, etc.

Let's look at an example: A fence must be erected along the boundaries of the land plot. In order to find out the length of each side, you need to measure them.

Rice. 1. A plot of land in the shape of a rectangle.

The plot of land has sides with lengths of 2 m, 4 m, 2 m, 4 m. Therefore, to find out the total length of the fence, you need to add up the lengths of all sides:

2+2+4+4= 2·2+4·2 =(2+4)·2 =12 m.

It is this quantity that is generally called the perimeter. Thus, to find the perimeter, you need to add up all the sides of the figure. The letter P is used to denote the perimeter.

To calculate the perimeter of a rectangular figure, you do not need to divide it into rectangles; you only need to measure all sides of this figure with a ruler (tape measure) and find their sum.

The perimeter of a rectangle is measured in mm, cm, m, km and so on. If necessary, the data in the task is converted into the same measurement system.

The perimeter of a rectangle is measured in various units: mm, cm, m, km and so on. If necessary, the data in the task is converted into one measurement system.

Formula for the perimeter of a figure

If we take into account the fact that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, then we can derive the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

$P = (a+b) * 2$, where a, b are the sides of the figure.

Rice. 2. Rectangle, with opposite sides marked.

There is another way to find the perimeter. If the task is given only one side and the area of ​​the figure, you can use to express the other side in terms of the area. Then the formula will look like this:

$P = ((2S + 2a2)\over(a))$, where S is the area of ​​the rectangle.

Rice. 3. Rectangle with sides a, b.

Exercise : Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle if its sides are 4 cm and 6 cm.

Solution:

We use the formula $P = (a+b)*2$

$P = (4+6)*2=20 cm$

Thus, the perimeter of the figure is $P = 20 cm$.

Since the perimeter is the sum of all sides of a figure, the semi-perimeter is the sum of only one length and width. To get the perimeter, you need to multiply the semi-perimeter by 2.

Area and perimeter are two basic concepts for measuring any figure. They should not be confused, although they are related. If you increase or decrease the area, then, accordingly, its perimeter will increase or decrease.
