Download the perimeter of the rectangle worksheet for class 5 and check the solutions for the perimeter of the rectangle question provided in PDF format.
Find the area of the rectangle with a length of 22 cm and a breadth of 13 cm.
Length of the rectangle = 22 cm
Breadth of the rectangle = 13 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × 22 cm + 2 × 13 cm
= 44 cm + 26 cm
= 70 cm
Find the perimeter of a square with a side of 19 cm.
Side of the square = 19 cm
The perimeter of the square = 4 × 19 cm
= 76 cm
Unit of Perimeter
Find the perimeter of the given figure.
Perimeter = (5 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 9) cm
= 32 cm
If the perimeter of the given figure is equal to 21 cm, then calculate the missing sides.
Step 1:
Sum of the given sides = (4 + 6 + 2) cm
= 12 cm
Step 2:
Perimeter = 21 cm
Missing Length = 21 cm – 12 cm
= 9 cm
