Chapter 9: Lesson 4

Understanding Capacity
• The amount of water or liquid occupied by
any container is called volume.
• The volume of a liquid in a container is the
space the liquid takes up.
• Some containers can hold only a small
quantity while others can hold a larger
quantity.
 Example:
• A glass has a smaller capacity compared
to a jug. It can hold a smaller quantity of
liquid as compared to a jug.
• Capacity can be measured in liters.
• We use the symbol L for liters.
• Liter is the standard unit of volume.
• Millilitres (ml) is the small unit of volume.
• We use millilitres to measure things that hold a
smaller volume.
 Example:
• In this example, the water in the pail fills
up 5 bottles or 5 L.

• We can say that the volume ( or quantity )

of water in the pail is 5 L.
 example:
• The volume of the first container is 1L
while the smaller container has a volume
of 500 ml or half a liter.
 Example:

We need 4 more cups of 100 ml to fill the 1

liter container.

 Lesson: 6
Computing Perimeter

• The perimeter is the length of the outline

surrounding of an enclosed figure.
• To get the perimeter, just add the length of all
sides
 Example
8m
2m 2m

8m

Perimeter = 8m + 2m + 8m + 2m
= 20m
 Another way:
Formula for Perimeter

• The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length +

width)

• The perimeter of a square = 4 x length of one

side.
 Example:
• What is the perimeter of the given rectangle?
6m
2m 2m

6m
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width)
=2 x ( 6m + 2 m) or =6m + 2m + 6m +2m
=2 x 8m = 16 m
=16 m
 Example:
5cm

2cm 2cm

5cm
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width)

= 2 x ( 5cm + 2cm ) or = 5cm+2cm+5cm+2cm

= 2 x 7cm = 14cm
= 14cm
 Example:
• The perimeter of a square = 4 x length of one
side.
= ( 30cm + 30cm + 30cm + 30cm)
= 4 x 30cm
= 120 cm 30cm
 Example:
Perimeter = 8cm+3cm+3cm+7cm+5cm+10cm
Perimeter = 36cm

 Lesson 6: Measuring Area

• The area of a geometric figure is the

number of square units inside the figure.
 Example:

• Count the number of square units in the

given picture.
• There are 14 square units
 Example:

• Count the number of filled squares:

11 red squares
• Count the number of squares that are about half-full:
8 half green squares
• Add the number of filled squares plus the number of half
filled. = 11 + ½ + ½+ ½+ ½+ ½+ ½+ ½+ ½
= 11 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 11 + 4
= 15 square units
 Another way:
• To find the area of a rectangle, simply
multiply the length ( l ) and the width ( w )
Area = l x w or lw

• To find the area of a square, simply

multiply the length of its side by itself.
Area = a x a
Example:
 Example:
• Area of a Rectangle
42m

16m

A = length x width
A = 42cm x 16cm
A = 672 cm²
Example:
8 cm
 Example:
9ft

Area of a square
A= a x a
=9x9
= 81 ft²
