Perimeter and area of 2D shapes
- Perimeter is the distance around a shape; area is the space inside.
- Rectangle: A = lw. Triangle: A = \frac{1}{2}bh. Parallelogram: A = bh. Trapezium: A = \frac{1}{2}(a + b)h.
- Circle: circumference C = 2\π r = \π d; area A = \π r2.
- For compound shapes, split into simple parts and add or subtract.
- Use perpendicular height for triangle, parallelogram and trapezium area. Perimeter adds all outside edges; include straight edges when finding a semicircle’s perimeter.
Trapezium: perpendicular height
Volume and surface area of 3D shapes
- Prism: volume = cross-sectional area × length. Cuboid: V = lwh. Cylinder: V = \π r2 h; curved surface area 2\π rh.
- Cone: V = \frac{1}{3}\π r2 h; curved surface area \π r l (slant height l).
- Sphere: V = \frac{4}{3}\π r3; surface area 4\π r2. Pyramid: V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{base area} \times h.
- For a closed cylinder, add both circular ends: total surface area = 2πr² + 2πrh. A right cone has total surface area πr² + πrl, with slant height l; an open solid omits its missing faces.
- Cylinder and cone formulas here refer to right circular solids. The h in each volume formula is perpendicular height.
Cone: radius and perpendicular height
Units and conversions
- Length: cm, m. Area: cm², m². Volume: cm³, m³. 1 m² = 10 000 cm²; 1 m³ = 1 000 000 cm³; 1 litre = 1000 cm³.
- Always state the correct units.
Perimeter and area
Strategy
- Draw and label diagrams, identify the shape, pick the formula, and substitute carefully, giving the answer in an appropriate form (in terms of \π or to 3 s.f.).
