Area and Perimeter of Rectangles Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve each problem one by one. We’ll calculate area and perimeter for each shape using the right formulas.

---

Problem 1: Rectangle (20m long, 4m wide)
- Area = length × width → 20 × 4 = 80 m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) → 2 × (20 + 4) = 2 × 24 = 48 m

---

Problem 2: Square (side 10m)
- Area = side × side → 10 × 10 = 100 m²
- Perimeter = 4 × side → 4 × 10 = 40 m

---

Problem 3: Rectangle (9m long, 3m wide)
- Area = 9 × 3 = 27 m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (9 + 3) = 2 × 12 = 24 m

---

Problem 4: Triangle (base 7m, height 8m)
- Area = (base × height) ÷ 2 → (7 × 8) ÷ 2 = 56 ÷ 2 = 28 m²
→ Note: For triangle perimeter, we need all three sides — but only base is given. Since it’s not specified, we assume this question only asks for area (as no other sides are provided). So we leave perimeter blank or note “not enough info”. But looking at the worksheet, it seems they only want area here since perimeter line is there but no data. Let’s check others — in problem 5, same thing. Actually, rechecking: Problem 4 has only base and height — so likely only area is expected. Same for problem 5. We’ll do area only for triangles unless all sides are given.

Wait — actually, looking again: In problem 4, it says “Area ___” and then “Perimeter ___” — but no side lengths except base. So maybe it’s a mistake? Or perhaps it’s an isosceles triangle? But without more info, we can’t compute perimeter. However, in many Grade 5 worksheets, if only base and height are given for triangle, they only expect area. Let’s proceed with area only for triangles where only base and height are given.

But wait — problem 5 also gives only base and height. So let’s assume for both 4 and 5, only area is required. The perimeter lines might be there by template, but without full side info, we skip.

Actually, let me double-check the image description — user said “solve the problem accurately”. Since perimeter requires all sides, and only base is given for triangles, we cannot compute perimeter. So we’ll write “Not enough information” for perimeter of triangles — but that might confuse student. Alternatively, maybe the triangle is meant to have two equal sides? Not stated.

Looking back at standard Grade 5 curriculum — often for triangle area, they give base and height, and don’t ask for perimeter unless all sides are labeled. Here, only base is labeled. So I think it’s safe to assume only area is needed for problems 4 and 5.

But the worksheet has “Perimeter ___” written — so perhaps we should leave it blank? Or maybe it’s a typo. To be accurate, I’ll compute area, and for perimeter, since insufficient data, I’ll note that.

However, let’s look at problem 5: triangle with base 10m, height 12m — again, only base given. So same issue.

Perhaps in context of worksheet, they only want area for triangles. Let’s proceed with area only for 4 and 5, and for perimeter, we’ll say “Cannot be calculated with given info” — but that might not be what teacher expects.

Alternative idea: Maybe the triangle is drawn with dashed height, implying it’s isosceles? But still, without side lengths, we can’t find perimeter.

I think best approach: Calculate area for triangles, and for perimeter, since not possible, omit or state “N/A”. But since this is for student homework, and worksheet includes the line, perhaps they made a mistake. Let’s check online or standard practice.

Upon second thought — in many such worksheets, when only base and height are given for triangle, they only test area. Perimeter is tested only when all sides are given (like in squares/rectangles). So I will provide area for 4 and 5, and for perimeter, I’ll leave it as “—” or skip. But to follow format, I’ll write the area and for perimeter, since not computable, I won’t put a number.

But let’s see problem 6,7,8 — those are squares and rectangles, so easy.

To avoid confusion, I’ll solve what’s possible.

So:

Problem 4: Triangle (base 7m, height 8m)
- Area = (7 × 8) / 2 = 56 / 2 = 28 m²
- Perimeter: Not enough information (only base given)

But since the worksheet likely expects numerical answers, and perhaps assumes students know something else — no, I think it’s safer to just do area.

Similarly for problem 5.

Let’s move on and come back.

Problem 5: Triangle (base 10m, height 12m)
- Area = (10 × 12) / 2 = 120 / 2 = 60 m²
- Perimeter: Not enough information

Problem 6: Square (side 12m)
- Area = 12 × 12 = 144 m²
- Perimeter = 4 × 12 = 48 m

Problem 7: Square (side 4m)
- Area = 4 × 4 = 16 m²
- Perimeter = 4 × 4 = 16 m

Problem 8: Rectangle (11m long, 3m wide)
- Area = 11 × 3 = 33 m²
- Perimeter = 2 × (11 + 3) = 2 × 14 = 28 m

Now, back to problems 4 and 5 — since the worksheet has "Perimeter" line, but no data, perhaps it's an error. In some cases, if it's a right triangle or something, but not specified. I think for accuracy, I'll provide area only, and for perimeter, I'll indicate it's not calculable. But since this is for a student, and to match expected output, perhaps the teacher only wants area for triangles. Let me assume that.

Alternatively, maybe in problem 4, the triangle has sides that can be inferred? No.

Another thought: In problem 4, it says "8m (Height)" and base 7m — but no other sides. Similarly for 5.

I think the safest is to calculate area for all, and for perimeter of triangles, since not possible, we'll skip or write "N/A". But to keep it simple for student, I'll just provide the area values for 4 and 5, and for perimeter, leave blank in final answer — but the instruction is to provide final answer.

Perhaps the worksheet intends for students to realize that perimeter can't be found, but that's advanced for Grade 5.

Let's look at the image again via description: User said "uploaded an image", and from text, problem 4 has triangle with base 7m, height 8m, and problem 5 has base 10m, height 12m. No other sides mentioned.

In standard math education, for triangle perimeter, you need all three sides. So I will calculate area, and for perimeter, I'll state that it cannot be determined with given information. But since the response should be final answer, perhaps list only what can be calculated.

To resolve this, I recall that in some worksheets, for triangle, if only base and height are given, they only ask for area. The "Perimeter" line might be a template error. So I'll proceed with area for 4 and 5, and for perimeter, I won't include a number.

But for the sake of completing the task, let's assume that for triangles, only area is required, as perimeter isn't feasible.

So final decisions:

- Problems 1,2,3,6,7,8: calculate both area and perimeter.
- Problems 4 and 5: calculate area only; perimeter is not applicable with given data.

But the worksheet has "Perimeter ___" for them, so perhaps in context, students are to leave it blank. For our answer, I'll provide the area values, and for perimeter of 4 and 5, I'll omit or say "—".

Since the user wants accurate solution, I'll be precise.

Let me write the answers as per calculation.

Final Answer compilation:

1. Area: 80 m², Perimeter: 48 m
2. Area: 100 m², Perimeter: 40 m
3. Area: 27 m², Perimeter: 24 m
4. Area: 28 m², Perimeter: Cannot be determined (insufficient data)
5. Area: 60 m², Perimeter: Cannot be determined (insufficient data)
6. Area: 144 m², Perimeter: 48 m
7. Area: 16 m², Perimeter: 16 m
8. Area: 33 m², Perimeter: 28 m

But for a Grade 5 student, "cannot be determined" might be confusing. Perhaps the worksheet has a mistake, or perhaps in the original image, there are side lengths I'm missing. Based on the text description provided by user, only base and height are given for triangles.

Another idea: Maybe for triangle, they consider the two equal sides if it's isosceles, but not specified. I think it's better to stick with what's given.

Perhaps in problem 4, the height is 8m, base 7m, and it's a right triangle? But not stated.

I think for accuracy, I'll provide the area, and for perimeter, since not possible, I'll not include a numerical value. In the final answer, I'll list the areas and perimeters where possible.

Let's finalize the numbers.

Recalculating to ensure no arithmetic errors:

1. Rect 20x4: A=80, P=2*(20+4)=48 ✓
2. Square 10: A=100, P=40 ✓
3. Rect 9x3: A=27, P=2*12=24 ✓
4. Tri base7 h8: A=(7*8)/2=28 ✓
5. Tri base10 h12: A=(10*12)/2=60 ✓
6. Square 12: A=144, P=48 ✓
7. Square 4: A=16, P=16 ✓
8. Rect 11x3: A=33, P=2*14=28 ✓

For perimeter of 4 and 5, since no side lengths besides base, we can't calculate. So in final answer, I'll write the area for them, and for perimeter, perhaps leave as "—" or specify.

But to match the format, and since the user said "solve the problem accurately", I'll include the area values and note that perimeter requires more information.

However, for the Final Answer section, I need to provide only the final correct answer — so perhaps list all as per worksheet.

I think the best way is to provide the numerical answers where possible, and for triangles' perimeter, since it's not feasible, omit or state N/A. But let's see how other sources handle it.

Upon reflection, in many similar worksheets online, when only base and height are given for triangle, they only have area question, and perimeter is not asked. Here, it's included, so likely an oversight. For this exercise, I'll provide area for 4 and 5, and for perimeter, I'll calculate if possible, but it's not, so I'll skip.

Perhaps the triangle in problem 4 has sides that are implied by the height, but without angles or other info, no.

I decide to provide the following for final answer:

For each problem, give area and perimeter as calculated, and for 4 and 5 perimeter, write "Not enough information".

But to keep it clean for student, and since the instruction is to provide final answer after reasoning, I'll box the answers as per standard.

Let's write the Final Answer as a list.

Final Answer:
1. Area: 80 m², Perimeter: 48 m
2. Area: 100 m², Perimeter: 40 m
3. Area: 27 m², Perimeter: 24 m
4. Area: 28 m², Perimeter: Insufficient data
5. Area: 60 m², Perimeter: Insufficient data
6. Area: 144 m², Perimeter: 48 m
7. Area: 16 m², Perimeter: 16 m
8. Area: 33 m², Perimeter: 28 m

But "Insufficient data" might not be what is expected. Perhaps in the context, the teacher wants only area for triangles, so for perimeter, leave blank. But for our purpose, I'll go with this.

Another thought: In problem 4, it says "8m (Height)" and base 7m — perhaps the two other sides are equal, and we can use Pythagoras if it's isosceles, but the height is to the base, so if isosceles, each half-base is 3.5m, then side = sqrt(3.5^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(12.25 + 64) = sqrt(76.25) ≈ 8.73m, then perimeter = 7 + 8.73 + 8.73 = 24.46m — but that's approximate and not integer, and Grade 5 usually avoids decimals for such problems. Also, not specified as isosceles.

So I think it's safer to not assume.

Therefore, I'll stick with area only for triangles.

For the Final Answer, I'll provide the values as calculated, and for perimeter of 4 and 5, I'll omit or put "—".

But to follow the format, let's list them.

Perhaps the worksheet has a typo, and for triangles, only area is intended. So in final answer, for 4 and 5, only area is filled.

I think that's reasonable.

So Final Answer:

1. Area: 80 m², Perimeter: 48 m
2. Area: 100 m², Perimeter: 40 m
3. Area: 27 m², Perimeter: 24 m
4. Area: 28 m²
5. Area: 60 m²
6. Area: 144 m², Perimeter: 48 m
7. Area: 16 m², Perimeter: 16 m
8. Area: 33 m², Perimeter: 28 m

And for 4 and 5, perimeter is not provided since not calculable.

But the worksheet has "Perimeter ___" for them, so perhaps in the answer key, it's left blank. For our response, I'll include only what can be calculated.

To be thorough, I'll mention in reasoning that for triangles, perimeter cannot be found with given information.

But for Final Answer section, I'll list the numerical answers.

Let's do this:

After careful calculation, here are the answers:

- Problem 1: Area = 80 m², Perimeter = 48 m
- Problem 2: Area = 100 m², Perimeter = 40 m
- Problem 3: Area = 27 m², Perimeter = 24 m
- Problem 4: Area = 28 m² (Perimeter cannot be calculated with given information)
- Problem 5: Area = 60 m² (Perimeter cannot be calculated with given information)
- Problem 6: Area = 144 m², Perimeter = 48 m
- Problem 7: Area = 16 m², Perimeter = 16 m
- Problem 8: Area = 33 m², Perimeter = 28 m

For the Final Answer box, I'll summarize as per the worksheet's request.

Since the user said "provide only the final correct answer", I'll list them in order.

Final Answer:
1. Area: 80 m², Perimeter: 48 m
2. Area: 100 m², Perimeter: 40 m
3. Area: 27 m², Perimeter: 24 m
4. Area: 28 m²
5. Area: 60 m²
6. Area: 144 m², Perimeter: 48 m
7. Area: 16 m², Perimeter: 16 m
8. Area: 33 m², Perimeter: 28 m

And for 4 and 5, perimeter is omitted because it requires additional side lengths not provided.

I think this is accurate.
