Maths Quiz - Perimeter and Area (Easy) (Questions)

The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the sides that enclose a 2D shape, e.g. the sum of the four sides of a square make up the perimeter of the square. The area of a closed 2D shape is the space enclosed by the perimeter of the shape.

The following symbols may be of use in doing this quiz:

Do this 11-plus Maths quiz and revise a few simple ideas about perimeter and area. When you are comfortable with these easy quizzes, move onto our next two sets - medium and difficult - on the same subject.

Learn this fact!
2. If you are provided with a ruler, what would be the best way to find the area of a square?
[x] Measure the length of one side and multiply it with itself
[ ] Measure the length of two sides and multiply them together
[ ] Measure the length of one side and multiply it with four
[ ] Measure the length of one side and multiply it with two
The area of a square = length × width BUT length = width in a square
3. If you are provided with a ruler, what would be the best way to find the area of a rectangle?
[ ] Measure the length and width and multiply each of them by two. Finally, add these results together
[ ] Measure the lengths of the length and the width and add them together
[x] Measure the lengths of the length and the width and multiply them together
[ ] Measure the length of one side and multiply it with itself
The area of a rectangle = length × width
4. If you are provided with a ruler, what would be the best way to find the area of a right angled triangle?
[ ] Measure the lengths of the sides that form the right angle and multiply this by two
[x] Measure the lengths of the sides that form the right angle, multiply them and divide this by two
[ ] Measure the lengths of the hypotenuse and multiply this by two
[ ] Measure the length of one of the sides that forms the right angle, and the length of the hypotenuse. Multiply these together and then divide by two
Area of a triangle = 1?2 × base × height
5. What is the formula for finding the area of a circle?
[ ] Area = 2 × π × r
[x] Area = π × r2
[ ] Area = π × r3
[ ] Area = π × r
Learn this fact! ? = 22?7 or about 3.14
6. A square has a side length of 6 cm. If the square is cut along one of its diagonals, what will be the area of one of the resulting triangles?
[ ] 36 cm2
[ ] 18 cm
[x] 18 cm2
[ ] 72 cm2
The sides which form the right angle are both of length 6 cm ? area = 1?2 × base × height = 1?2 × 6 × 6 = 18 cm2
7. What is the perimeter of a rectangle of width 10 cm and length 14 cm?
[ ] 140 cm
[ ] 48 cm2
[ ] 140 cm2
[x] 48 cm
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × length + 2 × width = 2 × 14 + 2 × 10 = 28 + 20 = 48 cm
8. A right angled triangle has an area of 45 cm2. What is the area of the rectangle formed by using two such triangles?
[ ] 90 cm
[x] 90 cm2
[ ] 180 cm2
[ ] 180 cm
Double the area of the given triangle: two right angled triangles form a square or a rectangle
9. How many square centimetres are there in 1 m2?
[ ] 1,000
[ ] 100
[x] 10,000
[ ] 10
1 square metre = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2. 1 m equals 100 cm BUT 1 m2 = 100 cm × 100 cm = 10,000 cm2
10. How many square millimetres are there in 1 cm2?
[ ] 10
[ ] 10,000
[ ] 1,000
[x] 100
1 cm2 = 1 cm × 1 cm = 1 cm2. 1 cm equals 10 mm BUT 1 cm2 = 10 mm × 10 mm = 100 mm2
