Answers - Geometry Tutor - Worksheet 11 – Perimeter 1. What is the perimeter of the square?
The formula for the perimeter of a square is 𝑃 = 4𝑠 where 𝑃 is the perimeter and 1
𝑠 is the length of one side. Thus, 𝑃 = 4 (2 ) = 10. The unit is cm. 2 Answer: 10 cm
2. What is the perimeter of the pentagon?
The markings show that the pentagon is a regular pentagon, which means all sides have an equal length. The formula for the perimeter of a regular pentagon is 𝑃 = 5𝑠 where 𝑃 is the perimeter and 𝑠 is the length of one side. Thus, 𝑃 = 5(3) = 15. The unit is m. Answer: 15 m
3. What is the perimeter of the figure below? All angles in the figure are right angles.

Since all angles are right angles, opposite sides of the figure have the same length as in rectangles. This allows us to identify the lengths of the unlabeled sides as
Add all of the lengths: 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 30. The unit is dm. Answer: 30 dm
4. What is the perimeter of the triangle?
The figure is a triangle. To find the perimeter add the lengths of the three sides: 2√7 + 3√7 + 4√7 = 9√7. The unit is m. 10 © MathTutorDVD.com
Answer: 9√7 m
5. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
The figure is a rectangle. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤 where 𝑃 is the perimeter, 𝑙 is the length, and 𝑤 is the width, so 𝑃 = 2(9) + 2(3) = 24; the unit is ft. Answer: 24 ft.
