1. Perimeter - The perimeter is the length of the boundary of the plane shape.
Perimeter = Sum of the lengths of all sides
2. Area - The surface covered by the border line of the figure is the area of the plain
shape.
1
Area of a triangle = 2 (Base × Height)
Area of rectangle = l × b
Area of a square = (side)2
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
1
Area of trapezium = 2 [Sum of parallel sides] × Height
1
= 2 (a + b) h
1
Area of rhombus =2 (Product of diagonals)
1
=2 × d1 ×d2
4. Surface area or total Surface area of a solid is the sum of the areas of its faces.
6. Volume - Volume is the space occupied by any solid figure i.e. the amount of
capacity to carry something is the volume of that solid shape.
Volume of a cuboid = l × b × h
Volume of a cube = l3
Volume of a cylinder = π r2h
7. i) 1 cm3 = 1 ml
ii) 1000 cm3 =1000 ml =1 Litre
iii) 1 m3 = 1000,000 cm3 = 1000 Litre
