This document provides instruction on calculating perimeter, area, and circumference for rectangles, squares, and circles. It includes the relevant formulas and examples of applying the formulas to real-world problems such as fencing a pool area and calculating the home range of a red fox. Sample problems demonstrate finding perimeter and area of geometric shapes, including irregular figures composed of rectangles.

Section 1-7 Perimeter, Area, Circumference
SPI 21B: solve equations to find length, width,
perimeter and area SPI 32L: determine the area of indicated regions involving figures SPI 41A: determine the perimeter & area of 3 or 4 sided plane figures
Objectives: find perimeter and area of rectangles and squares find circumference and area of circles
Perimeter: the sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon fence around a garden Circumference: the distance around the outside of a circle Area: number of units (squared) enclosed by the perimeter or circumference
Some Common Formulas
Square s = side
Rectangle b = base h = height
Circle d = diameter r = radius
Perimeter: P = 4s Area: A = s2
Perimeter: P = 2b + 2h Area: A = bh
Circumference: C = d or C = 2r Area: A = r2
Real-World Connection Fencing. Your pool is depicted in the diagram below. You want to build a fence around the deck. How much fencing will you need? Width of pool and deck: 15 + 3 + 3 = 21 feet Length of pool and deck: 20 + 3 + 3 = 26 feet Solve: P = 2w + 2L = 2(21) + 2(26) = 94
Formula Substitute Simplify
You will need 94 feet of fencing.
Real-World and Finding Circumference
Biology. In the Pacific Northwest, a red fox has a circular home range with a radius of about 718 meters. What is the area of the home range of a red fox? A = r2 A = (718) 2 = 1,619,566
Formula Substitute Simplify
Finding Perimeter in the Coordinate Plane
Find the perimeter of ABC. Find the length of each side. Side AB. |5 (-1)| = 6 Side BC. |6- (-2)| = 8 Side AC.
AB + BC + AC = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24. The perimeter is 24 units.
Finding Area of a Rectangle
You are designing a banner for a music festival. The banner will be 4 ft wide by 7 feet high. How much material will you need? Area of Rectangle = bh Convert yards to feet: 7 yards = 21 feet Substitute values into formula A = 4(21) = 84 You will need 84 square feet (ft2) of material.
Finding Area of Irregular Figures
Find the area of the figure. Separate the figure into rectangles.
