Introduction

In our previous lessons, we explored the concepts of perimeter and area for various plane figures. The perimeter of a closed shape is the total distance around its boundary, while the area represents the region enclosed by it. We calculated the perimeter and area of common figures like triangles, rectangles, and circles, along with special cases such as pathways or borders in rectangular shapes.

In this chapter, we will extend our understanding to quadrilaterals, including parallelograms, rhombuses, and trapeziums, and learn how to compute their perimeter and area. Additionally, we will explore surface area and volume of three-dimensional solids such as cubes, cuboids, and cylinders. These concepts are essential in real-life applications, from designing objects to calculating space utilization.

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to solve problems involving both 2D and 3D shapes, enhancing your mathematical and spatial reasoning skills.
