Perimeter worksheet 1

Remember: Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a 2D shape.You calculate it by adding together all the lengths of a shape.

Work out the perimeter of these shapes:

1. A  rectangle 7cm long by 8cm wide.

2. A square with one side 15cm long.

3. A rectangle 20cm by  30cm.

4. A  32cm by 10cm rectangle.

5. A rectangle 75cm  long by 25cm wide.

6. A  50cm by 50 cm square.

7. A rectangle 16cm by 12cm.

8. A  63cm by 25cm rectangle.

9. A square with one side measuring 45cm.

10. A rectangle 19cm long by 5cm wide

Exercise 2
Find the area and perimeter of each rectangle.
Remember to include the units in your answers.
