Perimeters and Areas of Polygons
Finding perimeters is important when estimating the cost of fencing a yard or installing crown molding in a room. Finding area is important when calculating the cost of carpeting, painting a room, or fertilizing a lawn.
The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around it. To find the perimeter of a polygon, we simply add the lengths of its sides
The area of a polygon is the measure of the amount of surface it encloses. Area is measured in square units, such as square inches or square centimeters
These are more into practical questions in real life. We do not find shapes just in simple squares and circles. There are actually different types of shapes compiling basic shapes all in one. Take this quiz and enjoy the challenge
To find the area of an irregular shape, break up the shape into familiar polygons. Find the area of each polygon and then add the results
