Finding the Perimeter

16 questions · Squares, rectangles, triangles & irregular shapes
Remember: The perimeter is the total distance around a shape. Add the lengths of all sides. For a rectangle: P = 2(length + width). For a square: P = 4 × side.
Instructions Look at each shape carefully and add up all the side lengths. Write your answer in the box and make sure the units (cm, m, mm, km) match the shape. Click Check Answers when you're finished.
