When you’re measuring the distance around your yard for a fence, what are you measuring? You’re measuring the perimeter of your yard. Depending on the shape of your yard, the perimeter can be calculated using a formula for that shape. This can be much more efficient than measuring all around the yard. Learn more the formulas for the different shapes such as squares, triangles, circles and more. Practice finding the perimeter of different shapes using the formulas and from the definition.

We’re always considering distance when travel. We are looking for the shortest distance but we are restricted by roads or whatever form of transportation we choose to use. The shortest distance between any two point is, however, a straight line. Given two points we look at the formula for finding the shortest distance between two point, or the distance formula.
Polynomials are introduced by considering the basic building blocks of a polynomial, a monomial. From here we introduce the simplest polynomial, the binomial and then the trinomial.

The vector equation of a line is another form of interpreting a line but now with a different structure called a vector. Again, we will see a parameter in this form. A single parameter indicating that we are representing a linear relationship.
