Chapter 10: Length, perimeter and area Notes

Metric units of length, perimeter of rectilinear figures, pi and the circumference of a circle, units of area, and the area of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and composite figures.

Sections

  1. 10A Metric units of length Mastered

    Millimetres, centimetres, metres and kilometres, converting between them, and choosing sensible units.

  2. 10B Perimeter Mastered

    Finding the perimeter of polygons and rectilinear (L-shaped) figures, including missing side lengths.

  3. 10C Pi and the circumference of a circle Mastered

    Parts of a circle, the number pi, and the circumference formulas C = πd and C = 2πr, including perimeters of semicircles.

  4. 10D Area of rectangles and triangles Mastered

    Units of area and converting between them, and the area formulas for squares, rectangles and triangles.

  5. 10E Area of parallelograms and composite figures Mastered

    The area of a parallelogram, and finding the area of composite shapes by adding or subtracting simpler shapes.
