It is the outside boundary of any closed shape. To
find the perimeter we need to add all the sides of the
given shape.
P e r i m e t e r
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its all sides.
Its unit is same as of its length.
Perimeter = 3 + 7 + 3 + 7 cm
Perimeter of rectangle = 20 cm

The general formula to find the area
of a triangle, if the height is given, is
Area of a Right Angled Triangle
If we have to find the area of a right-angled
triangle then we can use the above formula
directly by taking the two sides having the right
angle one as the base and one as height.
Here base = 3 cm and height = 4 cm
Area of Triangle = 1 x 3 x 4

HERON’S
FORMULA
The formula of area of a
triangle is given by heron
and it is also called
Heron’s Formula.
Area of Triangle
s is Semi-Perimeter
where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle
