Show answers and working
  1. 1. Perimeter 38 cm, area 84 cm²

    Perimeter = 7 + 12 + 7 + 12 = 38 cm. Area = 7 × 12 = 84 cm².

  2. 2. Perimeter 28 cm, area 33 cm²

    Perimeter = 3 + 11 + 3 + 11 = 28 cm. Area = 3 × 11 = 33 cm².

  3. 3. Perimeter 28 cm, area 45 cm²

    Perimeter = 9 + 5 + 9 + 5 = 28 cm. Area = 9 × 5 = 45 cm².

  4. 4. Perimeter 28 cm, area 33 cm²

    Perimeter = 11 + 3 + 11 + 3 = 28 cm. Area = 11 × 3 = 33 cm².

  5. 5. 112 cm²

    Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 28 × 8 = 112 cm².

  6. 6. 180 cm²

    Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 24 × 15 = 180 cm².

  7. 7. 45 cm²

    Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 6 × 15 = 45 cm².

  8. 8. 20 cm²

    Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 20 × 2 = 20 cm².

  9. 9. Area 78.5 cm², circumference 31.4 cm

    Area = πr² = π × 5² = 78.5 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 5 = 31.4 cm.

  10. 10. Area 113.1 cm², circumference 37.7 cm

    Area = πr² = π × 6² = 113.1 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 6 = 37.7 cm.

  11. 11. Area 50.3 cm², circumference 25.1 cm

    Area = πr² = π × 4² = 50.3 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 4 = 25.1 cm.

  12. 12. Area 153.9 cm², circumference 44 cm

    Area = πr² = π × 7² = 153.9 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 7 = 44 cm.

Worked examples

Easy example

A rectangle is 11 cm by 9 cm. Find its perimeter and area.

  1. Perimeter = 11 + 9 + 11 + 9 = 40 cm.
  2. Area = 11 × 9 = 99 cm².
  3. Answer: Perimeter 40 cm, area 99 cm²
Medium example

A triangle has base 30 cm and height 10 cm. Find its area.

  1. Area = ½ × base × height.
  2. ½ × 30 × 10 = 150 cm².
  3. Answer: 150 cm²
Hard example

Find the area and circumference of a circle with radius 12 cm (to 1 d.p.).

  1. Area = πr² = π × 12² = 452.4 cm².
  2. Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 12 = 75.4 cm.
  3. Answer: Area 452.4 cm², circumference 75.4 cm

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Mixes up area and perimeter.

    Correction: Perimeter is a fence (around), area is grass (inside).

  • Uses the slanted side as the height of a triangle.

    Correction: Height must be at right angles to the base.

Teacher tips

  • · Draw shapes on squared paper and count squares first.

Parent tips

  • · Measure a room and work out how much carpet you'd need.

Real-life applications

  • · Carpeting a room, fencing a garden.
