# Measuring Shapes: Perimeter and Area

In this worksheet, students answer questions on area and perimeter. Key stage:  KS 2

Curriculum topic:   Measurement

Curriculum subtopic:   Measure and Calculate Shapes

Difficulty level: #### Worksheet Overview

The perimeter is the total distance around a shape, starting and finishing at the same point.

Example Here the perimeter is 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 10 cm

Area

Remember that the area of rectangle is it's length x it's width.

If we know the area and one side, we can divide to find the length of the other side.

Example

A rectangular room has an area of 12 m2

If it's length is 4 m, what is it's width?
