Show answers and working
1. Perimeter 30 cm, area 56 cm²
Perimeter = 7 + 8 + 7 + 8 = 30 cm. Area = 7 × 8 = 56 cm².
2. Perimeter 32 cm, area 60 cm²
Perimeter = 10 + 6 + 10 + 6 = 32 cm. Area = 10 × 6 = 60 cm².
3. Perimeter 30 cm, area 54 cm²
Perimeter = 6 + 9 + 6 + 9 = 30 cm. Area = 6 × 9 = 54 cm².
4. Perimeter 42 cm, area 108 cm²
Perimeter = 9 + 12 + 9 + 12 = 42 cm. Area = 9 × 12 = 108 cm².
5. 104 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 16 × 13 = 104 cm².
6. 52 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 8 × 13 = 52 cm².
7. 78 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 26 × 6 = 78 cm².
8. 117 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 26 × 9 = 117 cm².
9. Area 380.1 cm², circumference 69.1 cm
Area = πr² = π × 11² = 380.1 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 11 = 69.1 cm.
10. Area 452.4 cm², circumference 75.4 cm
Area = πr² = π × 12² = 452.4 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 12 = 75.4 cm.
11. Area 201.1 cm², circumference 50.3 cm
Area = πr² = π × 8² = 201.1 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 8 = 50.3 cm.
12. Area 50.3 cm², circumference 25.1 cm
Area = πr² = π × 4² = 50.3 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 4 = 25.1 cm.
Worked examples
A rectangle is 12 cm by 13 cm. Find its perimeter and area.
- Perimeter = 12 + 13 + 12 + 13 = 50 cm.
- Area = 12 × 13 = 156 cm².
- Answer: Perimeter 50 cm, area 156 cm²
A triangle has base 4 cm and height 7 cm. Find its area.
- Area = ½ × base × height.
- ½ × 4 × 7 = 14 cm².
- Answer: 14 cm²
Find the area and circumference of a circle with radius 6 cm (to 1 d.p.).
- Area = πr² = π × 6² = 113.1 cm².
- Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 6 = 37.7 cm.
- Answer: Area 113.1 cm², circumference 37.7 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.
