Calculates the perimeters of plane shapes and the circumferences of circles
- Find perimeters of parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses and kites (ACMMG196)
  - Find the perimeters of a range of plane shapes, including parallelograms, trapeziums, rhombuses, kites and simple composite figures
    
    Play Activities 5
    
    Examples
  - Solve problems involving the perimeters of plane shapes, eg find the dimensions of a rectangle, given its perimeter and the length of one side
    
    Play Activities 5
    
    Examples
- Investigate the relationship between features of circles, such as the circumference, radius and diameter; use formulas to solve problems involving circumference (ACMMG197)
  - Develop and use the formulas to find the circumferences of circles in terms of the diameter d or radius r: Circumference of a circle = pi x d Circumference of a circle = 2 x pi x r
