  1. Introduction The distance formula can be used to find solutions to many real-world problems. In the previous lesson, the distance formula was used to find the distance between two given points. In this lesson, the distance formula will be applied to perimeter and area problems. A polygon is a two-dimensional figure formed by three or more segments. Sometimes we need to calculate the perimeter or distance around a polygon, as well as find the area or the amount of space inside the boundary of a polygon. The distance formula is a valuable tool for both of these calculations. 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area

  2. Key Concepts Situations where you would need to calculate perimeter include finding the amount of linear feet needed to fence a yard or a garden, determining the amount of trim needed for a room, or finding the amount of concrete needed to edge a statue. Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides of a polygon. The final answer must include the appropriate label (units, feet, inches, meters, centimeters, etc.). 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area

  3. Key Concepts, continued Sometimes the answer is not a whole number. If it is not, you must simplify the radical and then approximate the value. 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area

  4. Key Concepts, continued Calculating area is necessary when finding the amount of carpeting needed for a room in your home, or to determine how large a garden will be. The area of a triangle is found using the formula . The height of a triangle is the perpendicular distance from the third vertex to the base of the triangle. 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area

  5. Key Concepts, continued It may be necessary to determine the equation of the line that represents the height of the triangle before calculating the area. For an example of this, see Example 3 in the Guided Practice. Determining the lengths of the base and the height is necessary if these lengths are not stated in the problem. The final answer must include the appropriate label (units2, feet2, inches2, meters2, centimeters2, etc.). 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area

  7. Key Concepts, continued By definition, rectangles have adjacent sides that are perpendicular. The area of a rectangle is found using the formula Area = (base)(height). The lengths of the base and height are found using the distance formula. The final answer must include the appropriate label (units2, feet2, inches2, meters2, centimeters2, etc.). 6.2.2: Calculating Perimeter and Area
