When measuring a 2D shape, like a square or a rectangle, it is useful to know what the perimeter and area of a shape are. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape. Area is the amount of space covered by the shape's surface. To work out the area of a rectangle multiply the length of its longest side by the length of its shortest side. This will give you an answer in square mm, cm or m (mm2 cm2 or m2).

1.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle 5cm x 9cm?
14cm
20cm
28cm
45cm
A rectangle has two sides of equal length and two more side with equal length. So the answer is:
(2 x 5) + (2 x 9) which is
10 + 18 = 28
2.
What is useful to work out the area of a small 2D shape?
Tracing paper
Measuring jug
Meter stick
Squared paper
Squared paper helps to work out the area of irregular shapes too
3.
What is the perimeter of a 6cm square?
6cm
12cm
18cm
24cm
A square has four equal sides, therefore the perimeter will be 4 x 6 = 24
4.
What is a perimeter?
The distance around the edge of a shape
The distance across a shape
The size of the surface of a 2D shape
The size of the surface of a 3D shape
To calculate the perimeter of a 2D shape, add together the length of each side
5.
How is square centimeter usually written?
Cm sq
Sq cm
cm2
2cm
Cubed cm are written as cm3
6.
A square has a perimeter of 32cm. How long are the sides?
4cm
8cm
10cm
16cm
As a square has four equal sides, we divide by 4 to get the answer
7.
What is area?
The distance around the edge of a 2D shape
The distance across a 2D shape
The size of the surface of a 2D shape
The distance around the edge of a 3D shape
Area is measured in square mm cm m or km
8.
Which is a good estimate of the perimeter of a cell 'phone?
100cm
34cm
2m
25mm
100cm = 1m That's way too big for a 'phone!
9.
Which would be a good estimate of the area of a small notebook?
1,000cm2
5cm2
26cm2
500cm2
This would be a very small notebook measuring 4cm x 6.5cm
10.
Which would be a suitable unit to measure the area of a classroom?
Square meters
Square millimeters
Square centimeters
Square kilograms
Millimeters and centimeters would be way too small and kilograms measure weight!
