Equal sides
Unit 6.1
• All four sides of a square are equal in length.
AB = BD = DC = CA
• Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length.
EF = HG and FG = EH
• The equal sides are marked to show they are equal.

Angles
Unit 6.1
Definition
An angle is the amount of turn between two lines with a common
vertex.
• Right angles
• The sides of squares and
rectangles form right angles at
large angle with more turn
the corners (vertices). small angle with less turn
• A right angle measures 90°. P Q

Parallel lines are always exactly the same distance apart and they
never touch each other.
We use arrows on lines to show that they are parallel.
In rectangle ABCD, AB is parallel to CD and BC is parallel to DA.

Circles
Unit 6.1
• All the points on the circle are
exactly the same distance from
the centre.
• The curved edge of a circle is
called the circumference.
• The diameter is a straight line

circle joining any two points on
the circumference.
• The radius is half the length of
the circumference.

• We need to find the length of the hypotenuse first.
(hypotenuse)2 = 92 + 402
(hypotenuse)2 = 81 + 1 600
hypotenuse = 1681 = 41 cm
• Perimeter = 9 + 40 + 41

Circumference of a circle
Unit 6.2
• Circumference of a circle
= 2 × π × radius.
= 2πr
The symbol π is a number close to 3,14. We call it pi.
Example:
Radius = 3 cm
The radius of a circle is 3 cm.
Calculate the circumference.
C = 2πr
C = 2 × 3,14 × 3
C = 25,12 cm

Area
Unit 6.2
Definition
Area is a measurement of how much surface a shape covers.
We calculate area by multiplying two dimensions of the shape.
The units of area are always square units.

A round hut has a diameter of 8 m. What is the area of
its floor?
• Use formula for area of a circle.
• Radius is half of diameter, so it is 4 m.
• A = πr2
• A = 3,14 × (4)2 = 3,14 × 16 = 49,824 m2
• Round off to one decimal place.
Area = 49,8 m2
