How do you find the area of a Circle
A = π × r²,
where r is the radius.
•π (pi) is approximately 3.14
•r is the radius (distance from the centre to the edge)
•Square the radius, then multiply by π
•Units are always squared (e.g., cm², m²)
Fluency / Communication Using Symbols:
Find the area of a circle with radius 6cm
Area = π × r²
Area = π × 6² = π × 36 = 36π cm²


How do you find the area of a circle with diameter d?
Area of circle = π × r²
•π (pi) is approximately 3.14
•r is the radius (distance from the centre to the edge)
•Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius
•Square the radius, then multiply by π
•Units are always squared (e.g., cm², m²)
Fluency / Communication Using Symbols:
Find the area of a circle with diameter 12cm
Radius = diameter ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6cm
Area = π × r²
Area = π × 6² = π × 36 = 36π


How do you find the Area of a Rectangle?
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
•Length (L): the longer side
•Width (W): the shorter side
•Units are always squared (cm², m²)
Fluency / Communication Using Symbols:
Find the area of this rectangle
•Length = 8 cm
•Width = 5 cm
•Area = Length x Width
•Area = 8 × 5 = 40 cm²

Perimeter of a Rectangle
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by 2 × (Length + Width).
Area of a Triangle
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = ½ × base × height.
Perimeter of a Square
The perimeter of a square is calculated using the formula P = 4 × side length.
Area of a Trapezoid
The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula A = ½ × (a + b) × h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.
Circumference of a Circle
The circumference of a circle can be found using the formulas C = 2 × π × radius or C = π × diameter.
Perimeter of a Regular Hexagon
The perimeter is calculated as P = 6 × s, where s is the side length.
Perimeter of an Equilateral Triangle
The perimeter is calculated as P = 3 × side length.
