The document provides information on measurements and units of measurement. It includes:
- Converting between different units like metres to kilometres
- Calculating speeds, rates, volumes and surface areas using formulas
- Measuring tools for different quantities like length, volume, mass
- Examples of calculating speeds, volumes, areas of different shapes

29. 3.3 Using a formula to calculate a measurement Shape Formula for perimeter Triangle, trapezium and any other odd shape Add the length of the sides. If some lengths are not given, you will be able to calculate the distances from indirect measurements Square 4 times side length = 4l = 4s Rectangle 2 lengths + 2 breadths = 2l + 2b Circle 2 r
