Formulas for measurement
There are different shapes for which measurement formula is applied
Shape 1 Rectangle Measurement is done in the form of Area and Perimeter
Properties of rectangle:
In a angle right angle triangle and lines are parallel to each other. Opposite sides are equal to each other .In the above figure L=Length and B=Breadth
Rectangle:
Area = Length X Breadth
A = L*B
Perimeter = 2 X Lengths + 2 X Breadth
P = 2L + 2B
P=2(L+B)
Shape 2:
In the parallelogram opposite sides are equal a , b are the length of the two sides with the height as H where comes the 90 degree angle
Parallelogram Area:
Area = Base X Height
A = b*h
Shape 3
The triangle have three sides a , b , c with a height ‘h’ and b as base
Triangle
Area = 1/2 of the base X the height
a = 1/2 (B*H)
Perimeter = a + b + c
(add the length of the three sides)
Learn Formulas for measurement with the help of examples
Examples: Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle with sides 4cm, 2cm?
Solution: Area =Length * breadth
Area = 4 * 2
Area =8 cm2
Perimeter=2(L+B)
P=2(4+2)
P=2*6
P=12 cm
Example: Find the area of the parallelogram where base =3 cm and height =8cm?
Solution: Area =Base * height
Area =3* 8
Area =24 cm2

Example :Find the area and perimeter of the triangle with Dimensions in centimetres (3 , 4 , 6) and height as 3cm ?
Solution : Area = 1/2 of the base X the height
a = 1/2 (4*3)
Area =12/2
Area =6 cm2
Perimeter = a + b + c
P= 3+4+6
P=13 cm
Example: Find the length of a rectangle where area is 24cm2 and breadth is 4 cm ?
Solution : Area =L*B
24=L*4
6cm =L
Example :Find the height of a triangle where base is 5 m and area is 35 m2?
Solution : Area =(b*h)/2
35= (5*h)/2
70=5*h
14m=h
