    Area Formulas for different geometrical figures:

    Figures Area Formula Variables

    Area of Rectangle Area = l × w l = length

    w = width

    Area of Square Area = a2 a = sides of the square

    Area of a Triangle Area = 1/2 b×h b = base


    h = height

    Area of a Circle Area = πr2 r = radius of the circle

    Area of a Trapezoid Area = 1/2 (a + b)h a =base 1


    b = base 2

    h = vertical height

    Area and Perimeter of Special Triangle


    An Equilateral triangle is a special triangle having all the three sides equal. To find its perimeter and area we
    need to know all the three sides of it.

    Equilateral Triangle

     The perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 x length of a side = 3l.


     Area of an equilateral triangle = √3 / 4 a2

    Solved Examples
    Let us see some of the examples using Area and perimeter formulas:
    Example 1: Find the perimeter of a rectangular box, with length as 6 cm and breadth as 4 cm.

    Solution: Use the formula,

    Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2 (L+B) = 2 ( 6 cm + 4 cm) = 2 × 10 cm = 20 cm.

    Example 2: How to find the area and perimeter of a square? Find the perimeter of a square if the area is 36
    cm2.

    Solution: A square is a shape with all the four sides equal in length. These four sides are also parallel to
    each other. They also make an angle of 90° with each other. To find the area and perimeter of the square, we
    need to know the measurement of one side of the square.

    Area of a square = (Side)2, and

    Perimeter of a square = 4(Side)

    Given: Area is 36 cm2

    (Side)2 = 36

    Or Side = 6 (Ignored negative value as length cannot be negative)

    Again, using the perimeter formula, we have

    Perimeter = 4(Side) = 4 x 6 = 24

    So, 24 cm is the perimeter of a square.

    Area and Perimeter is a very important topic in Maths and students are advised to go through the list of
    formulas listed above before working on the problems for better understanding and preparation.

    Frequently Asked Questions on Area and Perimeter Formula


    Q1
    What is meant by the area and perimeter of any shape?
    Area means the region enclosed by any closed figure and perimeter means the length of the boundary of the
    shape.
    Q2
    What is the area and perimeter of an equilateral triangle?
    Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 a2 and perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3a where a is the length of the
    side of the equilateral triangle.
