1 UNIT 10 Perimeter and Area An artist uses perimeter and area to determine the amount of materials it takes to produce a piece such as this. 3 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

2 You can find geometric shapes in art. Whether determining the amount of leading or the amount of glass for a piece of stained-glass art, stained-glass artists need to understand perimeter and area to solve many practical problems. Big Ideas Several useful aspects of every geometric figure that can be measured, calculated, or approximated. A segment has a finite length that can be measured. Area is a measure of how much material is needed to cover a plane figure. Many problems can be solved by using the properties of angles, triangles, and circles.

4 Types of Polygons Some geometric shapes are polygons. DEFINITIONS A polygon is a closed figure formed by three or more line segments in a plane, such that each line segment intersects two other line segments at their endpoints only. The endpoints are called vertices (the singular is vertex) and the segments are called sides. polygons not polygons Naming Polygons A polygon is named by its number of sides. An n-sided polygon is called an n-gon. Therefore, a polygon with 16 sides is a 16-gon. For fewer numbers of sides, the following terms are commonly used. 3 sides: triangle 7 sides: heptagon sides: quadrilateral 8 sides: octagon 5 sides: pentagon 9 sides: nonagon 6 sides: hexagon 10 sides: decagon TIP To remember the names of polygons, think of words with the same prefixes, such as tricycle, octopus, and decade. Example 1 Name each polygon. A B Solution pentagon C Solution quadrilateral D Solution octagon Solution 0-gon TYPES OF POLYGONS 37

5 Describing Polygons Tick marks indicate congruent sides and arcs indicate congruent angles. If a polygon is equiangular, all of its angles are congruent. If a polygon is equilateral, all of its sides are congruent. If a polygon is regular, it is both equiangular and equilateral. Example Determine whether each polygon is equiangular, equilateral, regular, or none of these. A B Solution equiangular C Solution equilateral D Solution regular E Solution none of these F Solution none of these Solution equilateral 38 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

6 Example 3 The vertices of a polygon are given. Plot and connect the points in the order given. Determine if the polygon appears to be equiangular, equilateral, regular, or none of these. A (1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 1). Solution y (1, 3) (3, 3) (1, 1) (3, 1) x Plot and connect the points. All sides are congruent. All the angles are right angles. The quadrilateral is regular. B ( 3, ), ( 3, 1), (3, 1), (3, ). y ( 3, 1) (3, 1) ( 3, ) 3 (3, ) 5 5 x Plot and connect the points. Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. All the angles are right angles. The quadrilateral is equiangular. Application: Sports Example The infield of a baseball diamond is bounded by the shape of a regular quadrilateral. At each vertex is a base. The total distance around the infield boundary is 360 feet. What is the distance between each base? Solution A figure that is regular is equilateral, so all the sides of the quadrilateral have the same length. Divide the total distance by the number of sides. 360 = 90 The distance between each pair of consecutive bases is 90 feet. THINK ABOUT IT A regular quadrilateral is also called a square.

9 Perimeter The sides of a polygon form the boundary of the figure. DEFINITION Perimeter is the distance around a figure. The perimeter P of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. When all sides of a polygon are congruent, as with a regular polygon, you can multiply the length of one side by the number of sides to find the polygon s perimeter. REMEMBER A regular polygon is equilateral (all sides congruent) and equiangular (all angles congruent). Finding the Perimeter of a Regular n-gon A regular polygon has sides that are the same length, so you can use multiplication to find its perimeter. PERIMETER OF A REGULAR n-gon The perimeter of a regular polygon with n sides each with length s is P = ns. Example 1 A Each side of a regular hexagon is 1 cm long. Find the perimeter of the hexagon. Solution A hexagon has 6 sides. P = ns Write the formula. = 6 1 Substitute 6 for n and 1 for s. = 7 Multiply. The perimeter is 7 cm. 35 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

10 B Find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle if a side length is 3.5 feet. Solution A triangle has 3 sides. P = ns Write the formula. = Substitute 3 for n and 3.5 for s. = 10.5 Multiply. The perimeter is 10.5 feet. Finding the Perimeter of a Rectangle The opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent. PERIMETER OF A RECTANGLE The perimeter of a rectangle with width w and length l is w THINK ABOUT IT You can also write the formula as P = l + l + w + w or P = (l + w). P = l + w. l Example Find the perimeter of the rectangle. 6 mm 1 mm Solution Use the formula. P = l + w Write the formula. = Substitute 1 for l and 6 for w. = Multiply. = 0 Add. The perimeter is 0 millimeters. THINK ABOUT IT You would get the same perimeter by substituting 6 for l and 1 for w. Finding Missing Lengths You can use perimeter to find a missing side length. Example 3 A The perimeter of the rectangle is 68 km. The length of the rectangle is 3 km. What is the width of the rectangle? 3 km (continued) PERIMETER 353

11 Solution Substitute the known information into P = l + w. Then solve for w. P = l + w Write the formula. 68 = 3 + w Substitute 68 for P and 3 for l. 68 = 6 + w Multiply. = w Subtract 6 from both sides. 11 = w Divide both sides by. The width is 11 kilometers. Check P = l + w = = 6 + = 68. B The perimeter of a square is 36 meters. What is the length of each side of the square? Solution A square is a regular quadrilateral. It has congruent sides. Substitute the known information into P = s and solve for s. P = s Write the formula. 36 = s Substitute 36 for P. 9 = s Divide both sides by. Each side has a length of 9 meters. Finding Perimeters of Combination Figures When you are finding the perimeter of a combination figure, the perimeter is the distance around the outside of the figure and does not include any interior segments. Example Find the perimeter of each figure. A 7 in. in. Solution The tick marks indicate that the length of the rectangle is equal to the side length of the triangle.

Application: Land Usage Example 5 Isaac is looking at a map that shows the boundaries of a city park in the shape of a quadrilateral. The lengths of three of the sides are 86 meters, 113 meters, and 9 meters. The length of the remaining side is smudged. Isaac calls the park s office and learns that the entire boundary of the park is 515 meters long. Find the length of the fourth side. Solution Write and solve an equation s = 515 The sum of the four side lengths equals the perimeter s = 515 Simplify on the left. s = Subtract 93 from both sides. The fourth side has a length of meters. Problem Set 1. Each side of a regular decagon is 15 centimeters long. Find the perimeter of the decagon.. Each side of a regular pentagon is inches long.

15 Areas of Rectangles and Triangles Every closed figure has an interior. The interior of the rectangle is the space enclosed by the sides of the rectangle. The interior of this rectangle is shaded. DEFINITION The area of a figure is the number of square units in the interior of the figure. This rectangle has an area of 3 square units. Notice that 3 is the product of the number of rows,, and number of columns, 8. TIP The interior is the inside of the figure. THINK ABOUT IT Area is expressed using square units, such as ft (square feet). When no units are provided, we use square units. Finding the Area of a Rectangle AREA OF A RECTANGLE The area of a rectangle with length l and width w is A = lw. l w Example 1 Find the area of the rectangle. 60 mm 11 mm Solution Use the formula.

Method 1 Method A = lw A = lw = Substitute 60 for l and 11 for w. = (60 mm) (11 mm) = 660 Multiply. = mm mm = 660 mm The area is 660 square millimeters. TIP We generally use the first method because it is simpler. 358 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

16 Finding the Area of a Triangle A triangle is half a rectangle, so the formula for the area of a triangle is half the formula for the rectangle. AREA OF A TRIANGLE The area of a triangle with base b and height h is A = 1 bh. h b The base of a triangle always forms a right angle with the height of the triangle. For acute triangles, the height is always shown inside the triangle. For obtuse triangles, it can be located in the exterior of the triangle. In a right triangle, the height can be one of the sides of the triangle. h b h b h b TIP Any side can be used as the base. The height will change accordingly. Example Find the area of the triangle. 5 km km Solution Use the formula. A = 1 bh = 1 5 Substitute for b and 5 for h. = 11 5 Multiply. = 75 Multiply. The area is 75 square kilometers. TIP The area can also be written as 75 km. AREAS OF RECTANGLES AND TRIANGLES 359

21 Special Quadrilaterals A quadrilateral can have zero pairs, one pair, or two pairs of parallel sides. TIP Arrows are used to indicate parallel lines and segments. DEFINITION A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides. DEFINITION A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. Parallelograms are further classified by their side and angle measures. DEFINITION A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. DEFINITION A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides. TIP The plural of rhombus is rhombi. 36 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

22 DEFINITION A square is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides and four right angles. All rectangles, rhombi, and squares are also parallelograms. Classifying Quadrilaterals Example 1 For each figure, write all names that apply: trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and square. A Solution Both pairs of sides are parallel, so the figure is a parallelogram. Because all the angles are right angles, it is also a rectangle. B Solution Only one pair of sides is parallel. The figure is a trapezoid. C Solution All four angles are right angles and all four sides are congruent. The figure is a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, and square. SPECIAL QUADRILATERALS 365

23 Classifiying Quadrilaterals A chart can help you see how the special quadrilaterals are related. Quadrilaterals Trapezoids Parallelograms Rectangles Squares Rhombi THINK ABOUT IT A square can be defined as a rectangle with four congruent sides, or as a rhombus with four right angles. A figure always belongs to a classification above it in the chart, provided they are connected. For example, all parallelograms are quadrilaterals. A figure will sometimes belong to a classification below it, provided they are connected. For example, a quadrilateral is sometimes a parallelogram. Figures that are not connected will never belong to the same classification. For example, a parallelogram is never a trapezoid. Example Tell if each statement is always, sometimes, or never true. A A rectangle is a square. Solution Some rectangles are squares, but not all are. Only rectangles with all sides congruent are squares. The statement is sometimes true. B A square is a rectangle. Solution Every square is a rectangle because all squares have four right angles. The statement is always true. C A square is a parallelogram. Solution A square is always a parallelogram. Both pairs of sides are always parallel, so the statement is always true. D A rhombus is a trapezoid. Solution A rhombus always has two pairs of parallel sides, while a trapezoid always has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The statement is never true. 366 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

24 Using Properties of Parallelograms Parallelograms have properties that other quadrilaterals do not have. PROPERTIES OF PARALLELOGRAMS The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. TIP The opposite sides are the parallel sides. The opposite angles do not have a common side. Example 3 A AWRT is a parallelogram. Which sides are W R congruent? Which angles are congruent? Solution Opposite sides are congruent: AT WR and WA RT. Opposite angles are congruent: A R and W T. B Find the values of x and y in the parallelogram. B. cm 5.8 cm Solution Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent. BR KP, so x =.. BK RP, so y = 5.8. A R K T y cm x cm P Identifying Quadrilaterals on a Coordinate Grid Example The set of points (0, ), (3, 3), (0, ), ( 3, 3) identifies the vertices of a quadrilateral. Use the most specific description to tell which figure the points form. Solution y ( 3, 3) (0, ) (0, ) 1 (3, 3) 3 5 x Plot and connect the points. All sides are congruent. The quadrilateral is a rhombus. TIP You can measure to see that the sides have the same length. SPECIAL QUADRILATERALS 367

27 Areas of Special Quadrilaterals The formulas for the area of a parallelogram and for a trapezoid are similar to the area formula for a rectangle. Parallelograms and trapezoids have bases and heights. A base is defined to be the bottom side of a geometric figure. The height is perpendicular to the base. It is the length of the segment that extends from the base to the opposite side. Finding the Area of a Parallelogram Every parallelogram has four bases; each side can be a base. The height depends on which side is used as the base. Heights are sometimes shown outside the parallelogram. b h b h h b THINK ABOUT IT Any side of a parallelogram can be the base because the parallelogram can be rotated so that any side is on the bottom. AREA OF A PARALLELOGRAM The area of a parallelogram with base b and height h is A = bh. h b THINK ABOUT IT When a parallelogram is a rectangle, the height is a side of the parallelogram and the terms length and width are used instead of base and height. Example 1 Find the area of the parallelogram. 3 in. 8 in. Solution A = bh Write the formula. = 3 8 Substitute 3 for b and 8 for h. = 7 Multiply. The area is 7 square inches. 370 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

28 Finding the Area of a Trapezoid A trapezoid has two bases: b 1 and b. The parallel sides are always the bases. The height is the length of a segment that joins the bases and forms right angles with them. AREA OF A TRAPEZOID The area of a trapezoid with bases b 1 and b b 1 and height h is h A = 1 h(b + b ). 1 b Example Find the area of the trapezoid. 18 ft 7 ft 1 ft Solution A = 1 h(b + b ) Write the formula. 1 = 1 7 (18 + 1) Substitute 18 for b 1, 1 for b and 7 for h. THINK ABOUT IT It does not matter which base is used for b 1 and which is used for b. = Simplify inside the parentheses. = 105 Multiply. The area is 105 square feet. Finding Missing Lengths With a known area and some algebra, you can find missing side lengths. Example 3 A The area of a parallelogram is 675 square centimeters. What is the height of the parallelogram if its base is 5 centimeters long? Solution Substitute the known information into A = bh. Solve for h. A = bh Write the formula. 675 = 5 h Substitute 675 for A and 5 for b. 15 = h Divide both sides by 5. The height is 15 centimeters. (continued) AREAS OF SPECIAL QUADRILATERALS 371

29 B The area of the trapezoid is 5 meters. Find the unknown base length.? 6 m Solution 10 m A = 1 h(b + b ) Write the formula. 1 5 = 1 6 (b ) Substitute 5 for A, 6 for h, and 10 for one of the bases. 5 = 3 (b ) Multiply on the right. 18 = b Divide both sides by 3. 8 = b 1 Subtract 10 from both sides. The length of the unknown base is 8 meters. Check A = 1 h(b + b ) = (8 + 10) = 3 18 = 5 Application: Painting Example Each wall of a four-sided garden shed is 10 feet long and 8 feet high and has one rhombus-shaped window. The windows are congruent and each has a base of feet and a height of 1.5 feet. The gardener wants to paint the inside of the walls. A can of the paint covers about 350 square feet per gallon. How many cans of paint will she need for two coats? Solution Find the area to be painted. First, find the area that is covered with one coat. Subtract the area of the windows A = lw bh from the area of the walls. = Substitute values for the variables. = 30 1 Multiply. = 308 Subtract. She has to cover 308 square feet for one coat. Next, double that amount to find the area covered in two coats. 308 = 616 Multiply area of one coat by. Divide by 350 to find how many cans of paint she needs = 1.76 Divide by 350. The gardener needs cans of paint. THINK ABOUT IT You can also use A = (lw bh). 37 UNIT 10 PERIMETER AND AREA

33 Circumference The distance around a polygon is called its perimeter while the distance around a circle is called its circumference. DEFINITION The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. Finding the Circumference of a Circle Since ancient times, people have known that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle is a constant that is just a bit more than 3. This constant is called π (pi), which is a decimal number that never repeats and never ends. In calculations, it is often approximated as 3.1. CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE The circumference of a circle with diameter d and radius r is C = πd or C = πr. d r THINK ABOUT IT In a given circle, the diameter is twice the radius, so C = πd = πr = πr. Answers that are found by substituting 3.1 for π are estimates and should include the approximately equal to ( ) symbol. Answers that use the symbol for π are exact answers. Example 1 Find the circumference of each circle. Give both exact and approximate answers. A circle A A 17 cm Solution Because the diameter is given, use C = πd. C = πd Write the formula. = π 17 Substitute 17 for d Substitute 3.1 for π. 53. Multiply. The circumference is exactly 17π centimeters or about 53. centimeters.
