(If you can’t remember this, write down actual numbers, and then see what you do to get from one to the next. Then apply this same principal to the variable.)
Perimeter is the distance around. Perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W
Area of a rectangle is L · W
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180º
The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360º. (If you can’t remember this, think of a square or rectangle. It has 4 right angles (90º each). 4· 90 =360
The sum of: complementary angles = 90º and supplementary angles = 180º
Vertical angles have equal measure
