Finding the perimeter of polygons means that the distance that is all around the shape has to be found. Study the definition of polygons and the perimeter, and how to use a shortcut to find the perimeter for regular polygons.
What Is Pi? - Number & Usage

2. What Is Pi? - Number & Usage

Pi is very useful to mathematicians, especially in finding the circumference or area of a circle. Explore the definition of pi, the number and approximations of pi, the uses of it, and an example of using pi.
Circles: Area and Circumference

3. Circles: Area and Circumference

Like all geometric shapes, circles take up space and a formula is required to calculate the area. Learn about the area and circumference of circles, explore the formula to calculate a circle's area, and review examples that use the diameter and others that use the circumference to find the area of a circle.
Semicircle: Definition, Perimeter & Area Formulas

4. Semicircle: Definition, Perimeter & Area Formulas

Circles can be halved along their diameter to form two semicircles. Calculate the perimeter and area, and also determine the diameter and radius of a semicircle using the provided formulas.
