Find the area and perimeter of this property. 39 2 in. 4 in. 4 Sets of Numbers and Absolute Value Objectives 1. Identify Numbers and Graph Them on a Number Line 2. Compare Numbers Using Inequality Symbols 3. Find the Additive Inverse and Absolute Value of a Number 1. 1, we defined the following sets of numbers: Natural numbers: {1, 2, 3, 4, . } Whole Numbers: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, . } We will begin this section by discussing other sets of numbers.
For some familiar shapes, we have the following formulas: Figure Rectangle: l Perimeter Area P ϭ 2l ϩ 2w A ϭ lw P ϭ 4s A ϭ s2 Pϭaϩbϩc Aϭ P ϭ 2a ϩ 2b A ϭ bh P ϭ a ϩ c ϩ b1 ϩ b2 Aϭ w Square: s s Triangle: h ϭ height c a h b Parallelogram: h ϭ height b a h a b Trapezoid: h ϭ height b2 a 1 bh 2 1 h(b1 ϩ b2 ) 2 c h b1 The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. The radius, r, is the distance from the center of the circle to a point on the circle. A line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has its endpoints on the circle is called a diameter.
