Card 1Perimeter Basics

What is the perimeter of any closed plane figure?

Answer

The perimeter of any closed plane figure is the distance covered along its boundary when you go around it once. For polygons, it is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

Card 2Rectangle Perimeter

What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?

Answer

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth). This is because opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, so we add length + breadth + length + breadth = 2 × (length + breadth).

Card 3Square Perimeter

What is the formula for the perimeter of a square?

Answer

Perimeter of a square = 4 × length of one side. Since all four sides of a square are equal, we multiply the length of one side by 4.

Card 4Triangle Perimeter

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle?

Answer

Perimeter of a triangle = sum of the lengths of its three sides. Add all three side lengths together to get the perimeter.

Card 5Rectangle Perimeter

A rectangular tablecloth is 5 m long and 3 m wide. How much lace is needed to go around its border?

Answer

Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth) = 2 × (5 + 3) = 2 × 8 = 16 m. So, 16 m of lace is needed.

Card 6Square Perimeter

If the perimeter of a square is 24 cm, what is the length of each side?

Answer

Since perimeter of square = 4 × side length, we have 24 = 4 × side length. Therefore, side length = 24 ÷ 4 = 6 cm.

Card 7Triangle Perimeter

What is the formula for the perimeter of an equilateral triangle?

Answer

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle = 3 × length of one side. Since all three sides are equal in an equilateral triangle, we multiply one side length by 3.

Card 8Area Basics

What is the area of a closed figure?

Answer

The area of a closed figure is the amount of region enclosed by the figure. It measures how much space is inside the boundary of the shape.
