In your KS3 Maths adventure with shapes, you'll dive into the world of perimeter and area. Perimeter is the total length of a shape's sides, while area is the size of its surface.
Formulas come in handy for finding perimeters and areas. For instance, in a square, the perimeter is its length multiplied by 4, and the area is length multiplied by width.

When it comes to three-dimensional shapes like cubes, these have area too (which we call 'surface area'). To calculate this, first work out the area of a face, then multiply by the number of faces - 6 for a cube, 4 for a tetrahedron, and so on.
This quiz focuses on the perimeter and area of 2D shapes, especially squares and rectangles. It's a great way to practice calculating perimeters and areas. After this, you might want to challenge yourself with our more advanced quiz, 'Level 5-6 Perimeter and Area 02'.
