Stuck on perimeter & area? Get tutor help.

Tell us exactly where your work goes off track — picking the formula, the height, the ½, or composite figures — and a tutor will walk you through the first step.

1 Quick recap

The whole skill on one card. If any line feels shaky, say so in the form below.

Perimeter & Area of Polygons

  • Perimeter = around the shape (plain units). Area = inside the shape (square units).
  • Rectangle: A = l × w; P = 2l + 2w.
  • Triangle: A = ½ × b × h — never forget the half.
  • Parallelogram: A = b × h, where h is perpendicular to the base. The slant side is a decoy.
  • Trapezoid: A = ½ × (b₁ + b₂) × h — average the bases first.
  • Composite figures: split into familiar shapes, compute each area, then add.
  • Working backwards: divide the area by the known dimension to find the missing side.

2 Ask for help

The more specific you are about the step where you get lost, the more useful the reply.
