pdf Perimeter Of Rectangles

This worksheet provides focused practice with finding the perimeter of rectangles when side lengths are given as decimals. Students must add decimal measurements accurately and apply their understanding of perimeter as the total distance around a figure.

Each problem presents a rectangle with decimal dimensions in centimeters, requiring students to either add all four sides or apply the perimeter formula \(P = 2(L + W)\). Because the side lengths include tenths and hundredths (such as 0.75 cm), students must carefully align decimal points and compute sums precisely.

This resource strengthens both measurement concepts and decimal computation skills. By combining geometry with decimal addition, students build fluency while reinforcing place value understanding and accuracy in multi-step calculations.

Skills Assessed

• Finding the perimeter of rectangles

• Adding decimals to the tenths and hundredths place

• Applying the formula \(P = 2(L + W)\)

• Aligning decimal points correctly

• Performing precise multi-step calculations

• Understanding perimeter as linear measurement

Classroom Use

This worksheet works well as practice during a decimal operations unit, reinforcement during a perimeter lesson, or as a quick formative assessment to check both geometry and computation skills. It also serves as strong review material before cumulative tests involving measurement and decimal fluency.
