Perimeter 9th october Simple shapes

Simple shapes

The perimeter of a shape is the length of its boundary.
Think of an ant starting from one corner of a small box, measuring 3 cm by 4cm. Imagine it walks all the way around the edge of the box. What distance will it have walked?
A box with 2 sides measuring 4cm wide and 2 sides measuring 3cm tall.
Perimeter = 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14 cm
