Chapter 5 lesson 3 - Perimeters of Polygons

Perimeter is the distance around the shape. For eg. If 1 side of a square is 15cm since a square has all of same sides the perimeter of the square is 60cm(15 + 15 + 15+ 15 = 60cm).


Here are some questions for you to try. From Easy to Hard.

Easy:
1)What is the perimeter of an isosceles triangle if one side is 5cm and the base is 2cm?
A)12cm
B)7cm
C)9cm
D)15cm

2)What is the perimeter of a square if 1 side is 4cm?
A)12cm
B)8cm
C)16cm
D)4cm

Middle:
3)What is the perimeter of a triangle that has a side length of 5m

4) What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has side length of 4m and 9m



Hard:
5)What is the perimeter of a hexagon with 1.5cm sides?
