Regular Shapes Perimeter Practice
Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape. Add all the side lengths, or multiply one side length by the number of equal sides. Include the correct units in your answers.
At the garden-design stall
A community garden is planning paths and borders. Help work out the lengths of edging needed.
1.A square herb bed has sides of 6 m. Which calculation finds the perimeter?
- 6 + 4
- 6 × 4
- 6 × 6
2.A regular hexagonal flower bed has six equal sides, each 3 m long. What is its perimeter?
3.A rectangular compost area is 9 m long and 4 m wide. Choose its perimeter.
- 13 m
- 26 m
- 36 m
4.The square seedling plot has a perimeter of 28 m. How long is one side? Show how you worked it out.

Use what you know about equal sides and opposite sides to solve each garden challenge.
5.A rectangular pond border is 8 m long and 5 m wide. How many metres of edging are needed to go all the way around?
