Perimeter of Regular Polygons WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 3rd Grade, 5th Grade
CCSS: 3.MD.D.8, 5.G.B.3
CCSS Description: Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
CCSS Description: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two‑dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

Perimeter of Regular Polygons WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Once learners can calculate and measure perimeter of rectilinear shapes this worksheet provides excellent challenge and extension as learners will apply this knowledge to solve problems.
Section A sees pupils calculating the perimeter of 4 regular polygons when given a measurement for one side length.
Next students will calculate side length of regular polygons when given the perimeter of the shapes in section B. This section also includes composite shapes made up of two or more regular polygons,
The challenge continues in section C where students will solve problems such as ordering polygons depending on their perimeters, drawing regular polygons with a given perimeter and reasoning whether statements about perimeter are true or false.
