1. This document provides 21 geometry word problems involving calculations of perimeter, area, circumference, and volume. The problems cover basic shapes like triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, as well as composite shapes like trapezoids. The word problems involve finding perimeter and area given side lengths or one dimension, finding a missing dimension given the perimeter or area, and real world application problems involving shapes like lawns, craters, and boxes.
