Show answers and working
1. Perimeter 46 cm, area 130 cm²
Perimeter = 13 + 10 + 13 + 10 = 46 cm. Area = 13 × 10 = 130 cm².
2. Perimeter 36 cm, area 72 cm²
Perimeter = 6 + 12 + 6 + 12 = 36 cm. Area = 6 × 12 = 72 cm².
3. Perimeter 28 cm, area 40 cm²
Perimeter = 4 + 10 + 4 + 10 = 28 cm. Area = 4 × 10 = 40 cm².
4. Perimeter 22 cm, area 18 cm²
Perimeter = 9 + 2 + 9 + 2 = 22 cm. Area = 9 × 2 = 18 cm².
5. 28 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 14 × 4 = 28 cm².
6. 56 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 28 × 4 = 56 cm².
7. 180 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 30 × 12 = 180 cm².
8. 143 cm²
Area = ½ × base × height. ½ × 26 × 11 = 143 cm².
9. Area 28.3 cm², circumference 18.8 cm
Area = πr² = π × 3² = 28.3 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 3 = 18.8 cm.
10. Area 380.1 cm², circumference 69.1 cm
Area = πr² = π × 11² = 380.1 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 11 = 69.1 cm.
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. Area 153.9 cm², circumference 44 cm
Area = πr² = π × 7² = 153.9 cm². Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 7 = 44 cm.
Worked examples
A rectangle is 9 cm by 6 cm. Find its perimeter and area.
- Perimeter = 9 + 6 + 9 + 6 = 30 cm.
- Area = 9 × 6 = 54 cm².
- Answer: Perimeter 30 cm, area 54 cm²
A triangle has base 18 cm and height 9 cm. Find its area.
- Area = ½ × base × height.
- ½ × 18 × 9 = 81 cm².
- Answer: 81 cm²
Find the area and circumference of a circle with radius 9 cm (to 1 d.p.).
- Area = πr² = π × 9² = 254.5 cm².
- Circumference = 2πr = 2 × π × 9 = 56.5 cm.
- Answer: Area 254.5 cm², circumference 56.5 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.
