The perimeter formula for a rectangle is 2 × (length) + 2 × (
width
).
True
What is the key difference between the perimeter formulas of a rectangle and a square?
Equal vs unequal sides
What is the area formula for a square?
(side length)²
Match the shape with its perimeter formula:
Rectangle ↔️ 2 × (length + width)
Square ↔️ 4 × side length
What is the volume formula for a cuboid?
length × width × height
The surface area of a
cuboid
is the sum of the areas of all its six faces.
True
Steps to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle:
1️⃣ Identify the length and width
2️⃣ Apply the formula 2 × (length + width)
3️⃣ Calculate the result
What three properties are multiplied to find the volume of a cuboid?
length, width, height
The volume formula for a cuboid is the product of its
dimensions
The surface area of a cuboid is the sum of the areas of all its six
faces

To find the area of a composite shape, you add the areas of its
individual components
True
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula
2 × (length + width)
To find the area of a composite shape, you add the areas of each
individual shape
.
True
The area of a square is calculated using the formula
side length²
Match the measurement with its metric units:
Length ↔️ mm, cm, m, km
Area ↔️ mm², cm², m², km²
Volume ↔️ mm³, cm³, m³
One kilometer is equal to
1000 m
One cubic meter is equal to
1,000,000 cm³
Why are proper unit conversions crucial in geometric calculations?
To ensure accuracy
The perimeter formula for a rectangle is 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{
width
})</latex>.
True
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5 cm and width 3 cm?
16 cm
The area formula for a rectangle is \text{length} \times \text{width}</latex>.
True
Why is the area formula for a square simpler than that of a rectangle?
All sides are equal
What is the volume of a cuboid with length 5 cm, width 4 cm, and height 3 cm?

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and
width
.
True
A square only requires one side length to calculate its
area
.
Squares and rectangles both use the same method to calculate their area.
