How to Find the Perimeter of Polygons

How to Find the Perimeter of Polygons


A perimeter is described as the sum of the length of each side. For instance, in a quadrilateral whose sides are \(9, \ 7, \ 5\) and \(11\), the perimeter is provided by: Perimeter \(= \ 9 \ + \ 7 \ + \ 5 \ + \ 11 \ = \ 32\)

How to Find the Area of a triangle


The area of a triangle is described as the whole area enclosed by the \(3\) sides of any particular triangle. Essentially, it’s equal to half of the \(base \times height\), i.e. \(A \ = \ \frac{1}{2} \times b \times h\).

How to Find Proportional Ratios

How to Find Proportional Ratios


Another interesting type of ratios is the proportional ratios. If two distinct ratios can be simplified into the same fraction, then they are said to be proportional ratios. Suppose we have two ratios as \(1 \ : \ 2\) and \(2 \ : \ 4\).

How to calculate simple interest

How to calculate simple interest


Simple Interest is a basic technique for determining the interest rate for a loan/principal amount. Simple interest is a model utilized in a lot of places, like banks, finance centers, automobile loans, etc. Whenever you make your loan payment, in the beginning, it goes toward the monthly interest, then the rest pays on the amount of the principal.

How to simplify ratios

How to simplify ratios


Check the entities in the given problem for writing ratios. Then divide both sides of the ratio to simplify it further. Suppose there are \(14\) apples and \(7\) oranges. So, the ratio of apples to oranges would be \(\frac{14}{7} \ \ = \ \ 14:7 \ \ = \ \ 2:1\).

How to Solve Integers and Absolute Value Problems

How to Solve Integers and Absolute Value Problems


If we plot an integer on the number line, then the absolute value of that integer would be its distance from zero. Since distance can’t be negative, therefore the absolute value of any number is always a positive quantity.

How to use order of operations

How to use order of operations


In mathematics, sometimes we are presented with a set of complex equations containing lot of operations. So, to sequentially and correctly solve the equation, we apply the order of operations. The order of operations tells the sequence in which the multiple operations in the mathematical expressions should be solved.
