What to Focus On

  • Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of a closed figure.
  • It is found by adding all the sides of a shape.
  • Perimeter is measured in units like cm or m.

  • All sides of a square are equal.
  • Perimeter of a square = 4 × side.

  • Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
  • Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Perimeter and area mean the same thing — both tell you 'how big' a shape is.

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, just add length and breadth.

Area is always length times breadth, even for triangles.

Memory Tips

Perimeter means the total length of the boundary of a closed shape.

Perimeter of a square = 4 × side

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)

Area is the space inside a shape.
