Grade 5 Perimeter and Area

This document provides information about measuring and calculating length, perimeter, and area of different shapes. It defines key terms like metre, kilometre, length, width, perimeter, rectangle, rectilinear, dimensions. It explains how to measure and calculate the perimeter of rectangles, regular shapes, and irregular shapes by measuring sides and adding them. It also explains how to calculate the area of rectangles by multiplying length by width, and how to calculate the area of compound shapes by dividing them into rectangles and adding the areas. Finally, it provides a method for estimating the area of irregular shapes.

Measure the perimeter of irregular shapes: so missing side 1 = 4cm.

Area of Rectangles Area of Compound Shapes Estimating Area
The area of a rectangle on a grid: To find the area of a compound shape, To estimate the area of an irregular
divide the shape into rectangles with shape, find the number of whole squares
known dimensions: plus squares where more than half
is covered.

Multiply the length × width 7cm


= 6 × 3 = 18 squares.
5cm
The area of a rectangle = length (l) ×
Whole squares = 10

Estimate of area = whole squares +
part squares
Area = 7cm × 2cm + 3cm × 5cm
