Algebraic expressions can be used to represent number patterns.
In the following example, we can find the relation between number of cones and the number of ice-cream scoops.

Thus, we can find the value of an algebraic expression if the values of all the variables in the expression are known.

Example:

The value of the expression  for  is


In a similar way, we can write formulas for the perimeter and area for different geometrical figures using simple, easy-to-remember algebraic expressions.

Example:

  • If s represents the side of a square, then its:
    • Perimeter is 4s
    • Area is
  • If l  represents the length and b represents the breadth of a rectangle, then its:
  • Perimeter is
  • Area is
