, Perimeter
Tne perimeter of any closed
two-dimensionalshape is the total distance arourid ui
Outside of the shape. The perimeter of a circle is called its
circumference.
Perimeter is expressed in linear units such as
mm, cm, m or Km.
Note:
1 km = 1000 m
1m= 100 cm=1000 mm
1 cm = 10 mm
Summary of formulae for perimeter learnt in grade 8:
Description Perimeter (P)
Shape
S
P=s t s+ s +s
= 4s
Square
P=l+b+l+ b
Rectangle =2l + 2b
= 2(l + b)
Triangle P=a t b +c
C= 2rr
Circle
(The perimeter of acircle or
is called the circumference)
C= Id
Since d= 2r
