Finding Perimeter of Any Regular Flatlander

• To find the perimeter of a regular add the measure of all the sides together

• Example-

4

44

3.74

P = length of sides ∙ # of sides P = 4 ∙ 3P = 12

Finding the Area of an Equilateral Triangle(Tradesmen)

• Make an altitude from the vertex to the base.• Then, divide the measure of the base by two. (It

has been bisected so it is half the size)• Next, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the

height of the triangle.• Then multiply the base by the height, Then

divide by two• Example-

4

44

3.46

A = 1/2bhA = 1/2(4)(3.46)A =6.92

Finding the Area of a Square(Gentlemen)

• Multiply the measure of the base by the measure of the height

• Example-

4

44

4

A = s2

A = 42

A = 16

Finding the Area of a Regular Pentagon(Gentlemen)

• To find the area of a regular pentagon use the apothem and multiply it by the perimeter of the figure.

• Example-

6 6

66

6

4

A = 1/2ap A = 1/2(4)(30)A = 60

Finding The Area of A Hexagon

• Find the perimeter of the hexagon• Multiply by the apothem• Divide by 2• Example

6

6

6

66

5

A = 1/2apA = 1/2(5)(36)A = 90

6

Finding The Area Of a Regular Octagon(Nobility)

• Find the perimeter of the octagon• Multiply the perimeter by the apothem• Example-

8

6

6

6

6

6

6

66P = length of sides ∙ # of sidesP = 6 ∙ 8P = 48A=1/2apA=1/2 8*48A=192

Finding The Circumference of a Circle(Priestly)

• Multiply the radius by Pi (3.14)• Example-

6

C = 2πrC = 2(3.14)(6)C = 18.84*2C=37.68

Finding the Area of A Circle

• First, multiply the radius by itself. • Multiply the product by Pi (3.14)• Example-

6

A = πr2

A = (3.14)(6) 2

A = (3.14)(36)A = 113.04
