Finding the perimeter of shapes and understanding angles, including the right angle — with an interactive exercise.

We find the perimeter of shapes and meet angles.

The perimeter is the distance all the way around a shape — add up all the sides. A square of side 5 cm has perimeter 4 × 5 = 20 cm. A right angle is 90°.

Remember

  • Perimeter = total length around the shape.
  • A right angle is 90°.
