Add the sides

Add the lengths around each shape to find its perimeter.

1.A rectangular flower bed is 8 m long and 3 m wide. What is its perimeter?
2.A square herb patch has sides of 6 cm. Which calculation gives its perimeter?
  • 6 + 4 = 10 cm

  • 6 × 6 = 36 cm
3.A triangular plant label has sides of 5 cm, 7 cm and 8 cm. Find its perimeter.
