Answers Worksheet

Securing understanding of perimeter and area

Task A: Calculating the perimeter and area of rectangles


1) Jun wants to work out the area and perimeter of each of these rectangles.
40 mm

25 m

6m
13 cm

40 mm
40 mm
13 cm

X Y Z

40 mm

a) Which rectangles have “enough”, “too much”, or “not enough” information?

X: Not enough, need the length of a shorter side


Y: The right amount, the other sides can be deduced
Z: Too much, need two non-parallel sides

b) Find the area and perimeter of the rectangles where possible.

For shape Y

Perimeter = 25 + 25 + 6 + 6 Area = 25 × 6
= 62 m = 150 m2

For shape Z

Perimeter = 40 + 40 + 40 + 40 Area = 40 × 40
= 160 mm = 1600 mm2

c) Jun works out the area of Z using the calculation 40 × 40 × 40 × 40.


What have they done wrong?

They have multiplied every length together instead of multiplying the length by the width.

Task B: Identifying a rectangle from its perimeter


1) Laura wants to buy a plot of land to build a house. The table below shows some
information about the plots.

Plot Area (m2) Perimeter (m) a) Which plot do you think they should choose?

X 100 40 Any plot may be selected here

Y 120 242

Z 120 52

By the table are plan views of the three plots.

Plot Area (m2) Perimeter (m) 20 m 10 m

X 100 40 6m Red
10 m Yellow
Y 120 242

Z 120 52

120 m

Blue
b) Match each image to a row in the table.

X = Yellow; Y = Blue; Z = Red

c) Explain whether you wish to change your answer to part A.

Answers will vary here depending on the original plot chosen

Task C: The area of a parallelogram


1) Calculate the area of each parallelogram.

a) b)
10 m

7.3 cm
8m
8 cm

4m

Area = 0.7 × 7.3 Area = 8 × 10


0.7 cm = 5.11 cm2 = 80 m2

c) The area of parallelogram is 36 units2.

Calculate the size of the missing length and add it to the diagram.

36 = base × 10
3.6 = base
12
10
The base should be marked parallel to the indicated line.
