Perimeter Definition: The distance around a two-dimensional figure. l w w l Note: (l) represents the Length, or longer side of the rectangle. (w) represents the Width, or shorter side of the rectangle. If no units are given, use "u".
Perimeter (P) of a rectangle is found by solving the following formula: P = 2l + 2w Perimeter (P) of a square is found by doing four (4) times Side (s): P = 4s S Perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of the sides.
56 What is the Perimeter (P) of the following rectangle? 15 ft. 6 ft.
57 What is the Perimeter (P) of the square below? 7
58 What is the Perimeter (P) of the figure? 8 in
59 What is the Perimeter (P) of the figure? 8 cm 10 cm 3 cm 12 cm
Circumference Definition: The outer boundary of a circle; the "perimeter" of the circle. Circumference Diameter
The circumference (C) of a circle is found by using one of the following formulas: C = d or C = 2r or 2r C =
C = d or C = 2r Diameter (d): Any straight line segment that passes through the center point of the circle, whose endpoints are on the circle. Radius (r): Any line segment from the center point of the circle, to any point on the circle---radius is 1/2 of the Diameter. oi of the circle, to any point on the circle---radius is 1/2 of the Diameter.
C = d or C = 2r Pi ( ), a mathematical constant, is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Note:
60 What is the Circumference (C) of a circle with a radius (r) of 7cm? (Use 3.14 for π) 7 cm
61 What is the Circumference (C) of a circle with a Diameter (D) of 11in.? (Use 3.14 for π) 11 in.
62 Find the circumference of a circle whose radius is 2.5 meters. (Use 3.14 for π)
63 A circle has diameter 8 yds. What is its circumference? (Use 3.14 for π)
64 The circumference of a circle is 37.68 cm. What is its radius? (Use 3.14 for π)
