This beginner-level path introduces geometric measurement and explains how perimeter, area, and volume describe different aspects of shapes and objects. You will learn to identify the measurement needed for a given situation and label results with the correct units.
You will calculate perimeter and circumference for common two-dimensional shapes, then find the area of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and composite shapes. You will also determine the volume of cubes, rectangular prisms, and cylinders.
Practical examples include estimating materials for fencing, framing, painting, tiling, and determining the capacity of boxes, tanks, and containers. No prior geometry experience is required.
