02 Perimeter calculations
1. Calculate the perimeter of a square with sides 6 cm.

2. Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with sides 5 cm by 8 cm.

3. Calculate the circumference of a circle of diameter 4 cm.


x
7 cm

4. The perimeter of this shape is 39 cm. Work out the length of x. 8 cm 9 cm

12 cm

5. Calculate the perimeter of a semicircle of radius 12 cm.

6. Jim has a circle of radius 7 cm. He says the circumference is 21.99 cm. Explain why he
is wrong.

7. Jo is training for a race. She runs around this track.

120 m

51 m

Show that she needs to complete at least 13 laps to have run 5 km.

8. Calculate the perimeter of the shape below.


3 cm

15 cm
4 cm

9 cm

9. A pond which is rectangular in shape has a length which is 3 times its width. The
perimeter of the pond is 16 m. Work out the dimensions of the pond.

10. Two identical circles are drawn inside a rectangle. Which is


larger, the circumference of the two circles added together,
5 cm
or the perimeter of the rectangle?
Extension

Darren has 36 m of fencing. He needs to make a pen in the shape of a rectangle.


Investigate the different perimeters he could use. Which one would give him the largest
area?

Consider different shapes for the 36 m perimeter pen.


Investigate with different lengths of fencing.
Answers
1. 24 cm

2. 26 cm

3. 12.6 cm (1dp)

4. 3 cm

5. 61.7 cm (1dp)

6. He has multiplied the radius by pi not the diameter (should be 44.0 cm).

7. π × 51 + 240 ≈ 397
5000 ÷ 397 ≈ 12.6
So 13 full laps are > 5 km

8. 48 cm

9. 2 m × 6 m

10. For the rectangle: 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 30 cm


For the circles: π × 5 × 2 = 31.4 cm
So circumference of circles larger

Extension

17 × 1, 16 × 2, 15 × 3, 14 × 4, 13 × 5, 12 × 6, 11 × 7, 10 × 8, 9 × 9
9 × 9 would give the biggest area (81 m2)

A circle pen would give the biggest area:


36 = πd
36
= d = 11.46 (2dp)
π
d
r = = 5.73 (2dp)
2
A = πr 2 = 103.1 m2 (1dp)
