Perimeter and Area Practice

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance around it, calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. For a rectangle, it can be found using the formula: P = 2(length + width).

Front

What is the formula to find the perimeter of a square?

Back

The perimeter of a square is found by adding the lengths of all four equal sides. The formula is P = 4 × side length.

Front

If one side of a square measures 15cm, what is its perimeter?

Back

The perimeter is 60cm, calculated as P = 4 × 15cm.

Front

What is area?

Back

Area is the amount of space inside a shape, measured in square units. For rectangles, it is calculated using the formula: Area = length × width.

Front

How do you find the area of a rectangle?

Back

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width: Area = length × width.

Front

What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5m and a width of 4m?

Back

The area is 20 square meters, calculated as Area = 5m × 4m.

Front

What does it mean if two figures have the same area?

Back

It means that both figures cover the same amount of space, even if their shapes and perimeters are different.

Front

What is the difference between perimeter and area?

Back

Perimeter measures the distance around a shape, while area measures the space inside the shape.

Front

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 28 feet, what could be its dimensions?

Back

Possible dimensions could be 10 feet by 4 feet, since P = 2(length + width) = 28.

Front

What is the perimeter of a figure with sides measuring 5m, 7m, 5m, and 7m?

Back

The perimeter is 24m, calculated as 5m + 7m + 5m + 7m.
