5 Fun Find Missing Side When Given Perimeter Worksheet
Please download the following missing side worksheets and find all the missing sides on the pages.
Introduction to Perimeter
Before going to the main discussion, we will discuss a thing or two about the perimeter. First, we will know what the perimeter is.
In geometry, we have been introduced to various types of shapes. Perimeter is the total length that covers the outside of a shape. Let us explain it to you with an example.
See the following image. Where you will see a rectangle whose opposite sides are equal in length. To find the perimeter of this rectangle shape, we have to add all the sides. After that, we get the desired perimeter for this rectangle, which is 14 units.
Find Missing Sides of Triangles Worksheet
A triangle is the most basic form of a polygon, with only three sides. So, we thought to find the missing side of a triangle using the given perimeter as our first activity.
See the following image to understand the whole process, then proceed to solve the worksheets one by one.
By understanding the above image, try to solve the following missing side of triangle problems when the perimeter is given.
Find Missing Sides of Quadrilaterals Worksheet
In the first worksheet, you have to find the missing sides of some quadrilaterals. As we know, quadrilaterals have four sides, so finding the missing perimeter for quadrilaterals can be fun.
As we know, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, etc. are some of the known quadrilaterals. You have to have an idea about each of them to find the missing side.
By understanding the above image, try to solve the following missing side of quadrilateral problems when the perimeter is given.
Find Missing Sides of Polygons Worksheet
In this section, you will find the missing side of polygons that have more than four sides. What you have to do is-
- Add the lengths of all the given sides.
- Find the perimeter and subtract the length of all sides from the perimeter.
- The result is the length of the missing side.
By understanding the above image, try to solve the following missing side of polygon problems when the perimeter is given.
Find Missing Sides of Irregular Shapes Worksheet
We found missing sides for regular shapes in our previous discussion. In this worksheet, you are going to find the missing sides of some irregular shapes. Follow the simple steps to find the side.
- Add the lengths of all given sides.
- Find the perimeter and subtract the length of all sides from the perimeter.
- The result is the length of the missing side.
Find Missing Side When Given Perimeter Word Problems Worksheet
Finally, solve some word problems related to finding missing sides. Here, the problems will not be present directly like the previous examples. Rather you have to read the word problem carefully to make the correct equation for finding the missing sides.
