Perimeter of Polygons in Word Problems

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Peruse these perimeter word problems with beginning geometers, possibly projecting it as an all-class warm up. There are three scenarios here, each with a visual. Scholars determine the perimeter of a swimming pool, find the missing length of a trail for which they know the perimeter, and help someone buy the correct amount of rope to border a garden. Encourage kids to label these drawings as they solve. It will help them process more clearly.
