Perimeter and Area of Shapes

The video tutorial covers the concepts of perimeter and area, focusing on how to calculate these for similar figures using scale factors. It explains the relationship between scale factors and the resulting changes in perimeter and area, providing equations and examples to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial also demonstrates how to find the scale factor when given the perimeter or area of similar figures.

Why is it beneficial to master the concepts of perimeters and areas of similar figures now?

• It is only useful for geometry.

• It is required for all science subjects.

• It makes future math courses easier.

• It helps in understanding advanced calculus.

If a shape's dimensions are doubled, what happens to its perimeter?

• It remains the same.

• It quadruples.

• It triples.

• It doubles.

How do you calculate the new perimeter of a shape using a scale factor?

• Subtract the scale factor from the original perimeter.

• Multiply the original perimeter by the scale factor.

• Add the scale factor to the original perimeter.

• Divide the original perimeter by the scale factor.

What is the formula to find the scale factor if you know the original and new perimeters?

• Original perimeter divided by new perimeter

• Original perimeter plus new perimeter

How do you calculate the new area of a shape using a scale factor?

• Multiply the original area by the scale factor.

• Add the scale factor to the original area.

• Multiply the original area by the square of the scale factor.

• Divide the original area by the scale factor.

What is the formula to find the scale factor from the areas of two similar figures?

• Square root of (new area divided by original area)

• New area minus original area

• Original area divided by new area

• New area plus original area

What is the final step to find the scale factor from the area equation?

• Multiply by the original area

• Square the result
