The perimeter of a shape is the distance around its edge. To work out the perimeter of a hexagon multiply the length of one of its sides by 6. If its sides are 2 meters long its perimeter would be 12 meters. The area is the size of the surface. Knowing the area of a wall is important if you are planning to give it a lick of paint - otherwise how will you know how many tins of paint to buy?!

1 .
Which would be a suitable unit to measure the area of a chunk of chocolate?
Square grams
Square meters
Square millimeters
Square milliliters
Grams measure weight and milliliters measure volume. Square meters measure area but chocolate bars aren't that big!
2 .
What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle?
2 x length x 2 x width
2 x length + 2 x width
Length + width
Length x width
2 sides of a rectangle are one length whilst the other two sides are a different length, for example 2 sides are 4cm long and the other 2 sides are 6cm long. This rectangle would have a perimeter of 20cm
3 .
A regular hexagon has a perimeter of 54cm. What is the length of the sides?
6cm
9cm
12cm
20cm
A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides. To calculate the length of each side, divide the perimeter by 6
4 .
How many cm2 is equivalent to 1m2?
10cm2
100cm2
1,000cm2
10,000cm2
There are 100cm in 1m so 100 x 100 = 1,000
5 .
What is the perimeter of a regular pentagon with sides of 5cm?
24cm
100cm
10cm
25cm
A pentagon has 5 sides, therefore 5 x 5cm will give you the perimeter
6 .
What is the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle?
2 x length x 2 x width
2 x length + 2 x width
Length + width
Length x width
If a rectangle measured 7cm by 10cm its area would be 70cm2
7 .
A rectangle has a perimeter of 38cm. The shortest sides are 7cm. What length are the two longest sides?
12cm
14cm
21cm
28cm
2 x 7 = 14
38 - 14 = 24
24 ÷ 2 = 12
8 .
What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a regular hexagon?
4 x length of side
6 x length of side
6 x length + width
Length of side divided by 6
As a regular hexagon has 6 equal sides, just multiply the length of the sides by 6
9 .

Which would be best measured in cm2?

Area of a playground
Area of a town
Area of a desk top
Area of a pen tip
Towns might be measured in km2, playgrounds in m2 and pen tips in mm2
10 .
Which would be a good estimate of the area of a classroom?
1,000mm2
100mm2
10m2
100m2
10m2 would be large enough for a room in a house but not big enough for a classroom
