Types of Geometric Figures:

Geometric figures:

These are the most memorable geometric figures Circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. The area and perimeter of this can be calculated using formulas
  • Square: four sided polygons are called as squares and all the four sides are equal in length. All the four angles in the squares are equal to 90°. If the length of the side of a square is a, then,
    Area = a2 square units,

    Perimeter = 4a units.
  • Rectangle: Rectangle is also called as four-sided polygon. and opposite sides are equal in length. Each angle in the rectangle is equal to 90°. l is denoted as If the length of the side of a rectangle , and the breadth of the rectangle is b, then,
    Area = l×b square units, (definition of a square)

    Perimeter = 2 (l + b) units.
  • Circle: two-dimensional object drawn by a curve is called as circle with same distance from the center. If the circle has a radius of r, then,
    Area = πr2 square units,

    Perimeter = 2πr units.
  • Triangle: Triangle is a three-sided polygon. h is height of the triangle, and the breadth of the rectangle is b,
    Area of triangle = (1/2) b×h square units,

    Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c units,
    where, a, b, c are side length of the triangle.
