Perimeters of polygons

Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons: find perimeter from side lengths, find an unknown side length, and explore rectangles with same perimeter but different areas (or vice versa)

A first look

This shelf is still being planted — the questions are being written and checked. Come back soon. A Skill needs at least 5 checked questions before it opens here.

Question 1 of 3

Which pair of rectangles could be drawn so that each rectangle has a perimeter of 24 cm but the two rectangles have different areas?

Question 2 of 3

A pentagon has a perimeter of 30 cm. Four of its sides measure 6 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm, and 4 cm. What is the length of the missing side?

Question 3 of 3

What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 8 cm and width is 5 cm?
