Perimeters of Triangles and Quadrilaterals

Find the perimeters of triangles and quadrilaterals

Perimeter – is defined as the total length of a closed shape. It is obtained by adding the lengths of the sides inclosing the shape. Perimeter can be measured in ?? , ?? ,?? ,?,?? e. t. c

Examples

Example 1

Find the perimeters of the following shapes

Screen Shot 2016 06 09 At 14.01.29 1465470127574

Solution

  1. Perimeter = 7? + 7? + 3? + 3? = 20 ?
  2. Perimeter = 2? + 4? + 5? = 11 ?
  3. Perimeter = 3?? + 6?? + 4?? + 5?? + 5 ?? + 4?? = 27 ??

Circumference of a Circle

The Value of Pi ( Π)

Estimate the value of Pi ( Π)

The number π is a mathematical constant, the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter, commonly approximated as3.14159. It has been represented by the Greek letter “π” since the mid 18th century, though it is also sometimes spelled out as “pi” (/paɪ/).

The perimeter of a circle is the length of its circumference ?. ? ????????? = ?????????????. Experiments show that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter is the same for all circles
