    Finding the Perimeter

    The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of


    a 2D shape.

    To find the perimeter of any shape with straight sides,


    simply add together the length of all the sides.

    Finding the Perimeter

    The perimeter of this triangle is: 5cm 5cm

    5cm + 5cm + 5cm = 15cm


    5cm

    12cm

    The perimeter of this rectangle is:


    8cm

    8cm

    12cm + 12cm + 8cm + 8cm = 40cm

    Finding the Perimeter: Rectangles and Parallelograms

    10cm
    The perimeter:
    10cm + 10cm + 4cm + 4cm = 28cm

    4cm

    4cm
    10cm

    Rectangles and parallelograms have two pairs of equal parallel sides, so you
    could also work it out like this:
    multiply 10cm by 2 and 4cm by 2 and add the totals together:
    10 × 2 = 20 and 4 × 2 = 8 so 20 + 8 = 28cm
    or
    add 10cm and 4cm then multiply by 2:
    10 + 4 = 14 14 × 2 = 28cm

    Finding the Area

    The area is the total amount of surface a 2D shape covers.

    Area is measured in square units.


    squared centimetres (cm2)
    squared metres (m2)
    squared kilometres (km2)

    Finding the Area

    You can calculate the area of shapes made up of rectangles by breaking them
    down into individual rectangles.

    Finding the Area of a Triangle

    To find the area of a triangle:


    multiply the base × the height and divide the answer by 2

    The area:
    5cm × 3cm = 15m2
    3cm

    15cm ÷ 2 = 7.5cm2
    area = 7.5cm2

    Finding the Perimeter of a Rectilinear Shape

    You can calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear shape by adding together the
    length of each side.
    You may need to calculate the length of any sides not given.

    3cm
    a = 6cm + 3cm = 9cm
    b = 10cm - 7cm = 3cm

    Finding the Area of a Parallelogram

    To find the area of a parallelogram:


    multiply the base by the height
    8cm × 3cm = 24cm2
    See how the parallelogram can be changed into a rectangle.
