Finding the Perimeter of Squares and Rectangles

Front

What is the perimeter of a square?

Back

The perimeter of a square is the total distance around it, calculated by adding all four equal sides. Formula: P = 4 × side length.

Front

How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of all four sides. Formula: P = 2 × (length + width).

Front

What is the definition of perimeter?

Back

Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

Front

If one side of a square is 5 cm, what is its perimeter?

Back

P = 4 × 5 cm = 20 cm.

Front

If a rectangle has a length of 10 m and a width of 4 m, what is its perimeter?

Back

P = 2 × (10 m + 4 m) = 28 m.

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 8 inches and a width of 3 inches?

Back

P = 2 × (8 in + 3 in) = 22 in.

Front

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 6 feet?

Back

P = 4 × 6 ft = 24 ft.

Front

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 30 m and the length is 10 m, what is the width?

Back

P = 2 × (length + width) => 30 m = 2 × (10 m + width) => width = 5 m.

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a width of 5 cm?

Back

P = 2 × (12 cm + 5 cm) = 34 cm.
