The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. Perimeter: - the sum of the distances
around a closed shape.

Activity 1
Your Turn: Draw five circles and for each circle make up measurements for the diameters
of the circles and thus state the radius measurement for each circle.
Here is an example:
NB: d is the short form for diameter and r is for radius
d = 80 mm r = 40 mm (half of the diameter)
Circumference of circle
The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. Perimeter:- the sum of the distances
around a closed shape.
To find the circumference of a circle, you use the formula: C = 2 × π × r or π×d
𝟐𝟐
NB: C means circumference and π has a value of 𝒐𝒓 3.14 2
𝟕
Example: Find the circumference of the circle below.
C = 2 × π × r (you can put the 2 over 1) or C=π×d

Area
Area is a measure of how much space there is on a flat surface. It’s basically the size of a
surface.
The area of a circle is calculated by using the formula: A= π × r2
Example
A = π × r2
A= π × r × r
𝟐𝟐
A= ×7×7
𝟕
A = 154 cm2 (your answer must be expressed in units squared)
YOUR TURN: Activity 3 NB: The answers are in red. You are to show the workings as to
how these areas are obtained
YOUR TURN: Activity 4
MATHEMATICS FORM 2 ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Area of Parallelogram
A Parallelogram is a flat shape with opposite sides parallel and equal in length.
Area of a Parallelogram
The Area is the base times the height:
Area = b × h
Example
A=b ×h
A = 20 cm × 3cm
A = 60 cm2
MATHEMATICS FORM 2 ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES
Area of Triangle
To calculate the area of a triangle the formula below is used:
1 b ×h
Area = 2 ×b ×h or
2
Example
mm
(Note: 12 is the height, not the length of the left-hand side)
Height = h = 12 mm
Base = b = 20 mm
1
Area = ×b ×h = ½ × 20 × 12 = 120
