First we need to find he length of each side by

counting the squares.

The distance
around the
outside of a shape
is called the
perimeter.

8 cm
The perimeter of the shape is 8 + 6 + 8 + 6 = 28cm.

What is the perimeter


of each of these

To find out how much shape is inside we can


count the squares.

The area of a
shape is the
amount of space
inside it.

The area of the shape is 18cm2.

This is an irregular
shape. This
means that the
sides arent
straight.

To find the area of


an irregular shape
you first count the
full squares inside
it.

You then count all


the other squares
which have more
than half the area
covered.
The area of the shape is 60cm2.

The rectangle is made of 6 rows of 8 squares.


To work out the number of squares
we times 6 by 8.
Counting each
square can take a
long time. Does
anyone know a
quicker way?

The area of the shape is 48cm2.

We can work out the area of a rectangle


without the grid.
