PerimeterThe perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edges.
PerimeterThe perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edges.ExampleFind the perimeter of this room
PerimeterThe perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edges.ExampleTo find the perimeter we need to know the lengths of some of the missing sides.  The side joining shapes (a) and (b) is 7 in total, but 3 is missing from it so it has a length of 7 -3 = 4.The total perimeter will be:shape (a) 7 + 7 + 7 + 4 = 25shape (b) 3 + 3 +3 =          9total = 25 + 9 = 34 units.Find the perimeter of this room
Now try these 1Find the perimeter of the following shapes:(a)                                                         (b)4 cm  6 cm 4 cm 4 cm  4 cm 2 cm
(c)                                                                     (d)All dimensions in metres
