Civil Service Exam (Professional) Numerical Ability — Geometry — Perimeter, Area, Circumference & VolumeConcept Map

The Geometry — Perimeter, Area, Circumference & Volume concept map from Super Tutor's Civil Service Exam (Professional) review: the central idea, the concepts around it and how they relate.

Super Tutor's review for Civil Service Exam (Subprofessional) uses these same chapters, so they live here in the Civil Service Exam (Professional) section.

Geometry — Perimeter, Area, Circumference & Volume - Concept Map

Geometric Measurements

Related concepts

Perimeter

Sub concepts

  • Square perimeter: P = 4s
  • Rectangle perimeter: P = 2(L + W)
  • Triangle perimeter: P = a + b + c
  • Regular polygon perimeter: P = n × side length
  • Irregular polygon perimeter: sum of all sides

Relationship to central

Linear measurement around the boundary of 2D shapes

Area

Sub concepts

  • Square area: A = s²
  • Rectangle area: A = L × W
  • Triangle area: A = ½bh
  • Parallelogram area: A = bh
  • Trapezoid area: A = ½(a+b)h
  • Circle area: A = πr²

Relationship to central

Surface measurement inside 2D shapes measured in square units

Circumference

Sub concepts

  • Circumference formula: C = 2πr or C = πd
  • Radius relationship: r = d/2
  • Diameter relationship: d = 2r
  • Pi constant: π ≈ 3.14

Relationship to central

Perimeter measurement specifically for circles

Volume

Sub concepts

  • Cube volume: V = a³
  • Rectangular prism: V = L × W × H
  • Cylinder volume: V = πr²h
  • Sphere volume: V = (4/3)πr³
  • Pyramid volume: V = (1/3) × base area × height
  • Cone volume: V = (1/3)πr²h

Relationship to central

Space measurement inside 3D shapes measured in cubic units
