What a question looks like

Answer: 58 cm

  1. Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) = 2 × (26 + 3) = 58 cm.
Teaching notes

Use this practice well

Have learners draw and label the shape, then decide whether the question asks for boundary length or enclosed space. Include the correct unit in each answer.

What this develops

Make rectangle and related shape questions that distinguish area from perimeter.

A mistake to watch for

Using length × width for a perimeter question returns an area instead of a boundary length.

Ways to use it

  • Compare two formulas on one sheet.
