Perimeter is the distance all the way round the outside of a shape.
If you are feeling a little confused by the word 'perimeter' and want to go back to basics then try our beginners page on what does perimeter mean.
There is a step-by-step guide to what perimeter is and how to find the perimeter of some simples shapes through worked examples.
A rectilinear shape is a shape made up of two or more rectangles.
In the following sheets, you need to find the missing side lengths, then add them up to find the perimeter of the shapes.
These sheets are suitable for 4th and 5th graders.
Finding the Perimeter of a Regular Shape
Because regular shapes have all sides of equal length, we can easily find the perimeter of a regular shape.
All we need to do is to multiply the number of sides by the length of one side to find the perimeter.
Finding the side length of a Regular Shape
If we know the perimeter of a regular shape, we can also easily find the side length.
All we need to do is to divide the perimeter by the number of sides to find the length of one side.
This sheet involves finding the perimeter of regular shapes if we know the side length.
This sheet involves finding the side length of a regular shape if we know the perimeter.
These sheets involve finding the perimeter of assorted shapes.
Each sheet consists of a range of 2d shapes to find the perimeter of.
Some of the sheets need measurement to find the perimeter, others involve adding up the side lengths.
Each sheet has two versions: a standard unit version (with both standard and metric units) and also a metric version with metric units only.
These sheets involve working out the perimeter with the measurements described.
There are a selection of regular shapes as well as other 2d shapes.
Sheet 1 involves whole numbers only, suitable for 4th grade.
Sheets 2 and 3 involve fractions and decimals and are aimed at 5th graders.
Sheet 3 also involves finding a missing side length when the perimeter is known.
