3Key Ideas with Measurement
Perimeter is the distance around the outside of
a figurethe black line of the picture
Perimeter is ALWAYS measured in plain units (ft,
yd, in, mi, cm, m, mm, etc)
4Key Ideas with Measurement
Area is the inside space of a two-dimensional
figurethe colored portion of the picture
Area is ALWAYS measured in square units (ft2,
yd2, in2, mi2, cm2, m2, mm2, etc)
There are two ways to write square unit Sq
units Units2
5Key Ideas with Measurement
Volume is the space inside a three-dimensional
figurethe stuff in the box
Volume is ALWAYS measured in cubic units (ft3,
yd3, in3, mi3, cm3, m3, mm3, etc)
There are two ways to write cubic units Cu
unit Units3
6Key Ideas with Measurement
Pythagorean measures are used to find the
missing side measurement of a right triangle.
Pythagorean measures are ALWAYS measured as
plain units (ft, yd, in, mi, cm, m, mm, etc)

24Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find the
missing measure of a side of a right triangle.
The two legs of the triangle are always a
and b
The hypotenuse of the triangle is always c
