Sample questions

1. What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5 cm and width 3 cm?

   1. 16 cm
   2. 15 cm
   3. 10 cm
   4. 8 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 16 cm

   The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by the formula 2*(length + width). Here, it is 2*(5 + 3) = 16 cm.

2. What is the perimeter of a parallelogram with sides 6 cm and 4 cm?

   1. 20 cm
   2. 22 cm
   3. 24 cm
   4. 18 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 20 cm

   A parallelogram has opposite sides equal. The perimeter is 2*(6+4) = 20 cm.

3. A square has a perimeter of 36 cm. What is the length of one side?

   1. 9 cm
   2. 12 cm
   3. 10 cm
   4. 11 cm
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 9 cm

   For a square, the perimeter is 4 times the side length. With a perimeter of 36 cm, each side = 36/4 = 9 cm.

4. A farmer wants to fence a rectangular garden with length twice its width. If the perimeter is 60 m, what is the width?

   1. 10 m
   2. 15 m
   3. 12 m
   4. 8 m
   Show answer

   Answer: A. 10 m

   Let width be x, then length = 2x. Perimeter = 2*(x + 2x) = 60. Solving gives x = 10 m.

5. What is the total perimeter of two rectangles if one is 10 m by 5 m and the other is 4 m by 9 m?

   1. 48 m
   2. 58 m
   3. 59 m
   4. 60 m
   Show answer

   Answer: B. 58 m

   Perimeter of first rectangle = 2*(10 + 5) = 30 m, Perimeter of second rectangle = 2*(4 + 9) = 28 m, Total = 30 + 28 = 58 m.
