Areas and Perimeters.jpgLearn about working out areas and perimeters in practical situations. This course is ideal for beginners.
Introduction
Area is the amount of space contained within the boundaries of a flat surface.
An area is always calculated in squared units (unit2).
Area in squares - the area is easily calculated in squares.
Example: In a grid of 10 x 10, 4 shapes can be different but occupy the same number of squares. They would all have the same area.
When calculating the area of a square or rectangle, we need to consider its dimensions, specifically its length and width.
Calculating the area - Area = length × width
Calculate the area of a square, rectangle, triangle or circle
Estiamte the perimeter of a square, rectangle, triangle or circle shape
Apply your knowledge in practical situations regarding the calculations of a perimeter or area
