Perimeter practice worksheet with geometric shapes on a grid.

To find the perimeter of each shape, we count the number of unit lengths along the outside edge. Remember: perimeter is the total distance around the outside — not the area inside!

Each small square has sides that are 1 unit long. So every time a side of a square is on the outside of the shape, it adds 1 to the perimeter.

Let’s go shape by shape (left to right, top to bottom):

---

Shape 1 (Top Left – “T” shape made of 4 squares):

- Top row: 3 squares in a row → top edges = 3 units
- Bottom square attached below middle → adds 2 vertical sides (left and right) + 1 bottom edge
- But where squares touch, those sides are *inside* and don’t count.

Better way: trace the outer boundary.

Start at top-left corner of leftmost top square:
→ Right 1 (top of first square)
→ Down 1 (right side of first square? Wait — no, let's do this carefully.)

Actually, easiest method: for grid shapes, count all exposed sides.

Each square has 4 sides. When two squares share a side, that side is internal and doesn’t count toward perimeter.

So:

Total sides if separate: 4 × number of squares
Minus 2 for each shared side (because each shared side removes one side from each square).

But even simpler: just walk around the shape and count each outer edge.

Let me do Shape 1 properly:

It looks like:

```
□ □ □
□
```

So:

Top: 3 units (across the three top squares)

Right side: from top-right square down to bottom square → that’s 2 units down (one for top square, one for gap? No — actually, the bottom square is under the middle top square.

Visualize coordinates:

Assume top-left square at (0,1), then (1,1), (2,1), and bottom square at (1,0)

Now trace perimeter:

Start at (0,2) — top-left corner of leftmost top square.

Move right to (3,2) → that’s 3 units (top of the three top squares)

Then down to (3,1) → 1 unit (right side of rightmost top square)

Then left to (2,1) → but wait, there’s nothing below (2,1)? Actually, only (1,0) is filled.

From (3,1), move down to (3,0)? No — because there’s no square at (2,0) or (3,0). The only lower square is at (1,0).

Actually, better to list all outer edges.

List all horizontal and vertical segments on the boundary.

Horizontal top edges: y=2, x from 0 to 3 → length 3

Horizontal bottom edges:
- At y=1, between x=0 and x=1? No — let's think differently.

Standard trick: for polyominoes, perimeter = 2*(width + height) + adjustments for indentations? Not reliable.

Best: count each exposed side.

Shape 1: 4 squares.

Squares at positions: A(0,1), B(1,1), C(2,1), D(1,0)

Shared sides:
- A and B share a vertical side → remove 2 from total (one from each)
- B and C share a vertical side → remove 2
- B and D share a horizontal side → remove 2

Total sides if separate: 4 squares × 4 = 16

Number of shared interfaces: 3 (A-B, B-C, B-D)

Each shared interface removes 2 sides (one from each square), so subtract 2×3 = 6

Perimeter = 16 - 6 = 10

Check by tracing:

Start at top-left of A: go right 3 (tops of A,B,C) → now at top-right of C

Down 1 (right side of C) → now at bottom-right of C

Left 1 (bottom of C? But C is at y=1, bottom is y=1, but D is at (1,0), so from (2,1) down to (2,0)? There's no square there, so yes, down 1 to (2,0)

Then left to (1,0) → that's the top of D? D is at (1,0), so from (2,0) to (1,0) is left 1, which is the top edge of D? But D is already counted? I'm getting confused.

Let me draw it mentally:

The shape is:

Row y=1: [X][X][X] (squares at x=0,1,2)

Row y=0: [X] (square at x=1)

So the outline:

- Top: from x=0 to x=3 at y=2 → 3 units

- Right: from y=2 down to y=1 at x=3 → 1 unit (side of rightmost top square)

- Then from (3,1) down to (3,0)? But there's no square at (2,0) or (3,0), so yes, down to y=0 at x=3 → another 1 unit? But that would be outside.

Actually, from (3,1), since there's no square below, we go down to (3,0), then left to (1,0) — but that skips over.

Better: the bottom part is only at x=1, y=0.

So from (3,1), we go down to (3,0) — that's 1 unit (exposed right side of the "gap")

Then left from (3,0) to (1,0) — that's 2 units (along y=0, from x=3 to x=1)

Then up from (1,0) to (1,1) — but (1,1) is occupied by square B, so this is the left side of D? D is at (1,0), so its top is at y=1, but B is above it, so the side between D and B is internal.

From (1,0), we can go up to (1,1), but that's where B is, so we stop at (1,1)? No.

After going left to (1,0), we are at the bottom-right corner of D? Let's define corners.

Perhaps use the formula: for any polyomino, perimeter = 2 * (number of rows + number of columns) + 2 * (number of "holes" or something) — no.

I recall that for a connected shape, perimeter can be calculated as:

P = 2 * (h + w) for rectangle, but here it's irregular.

Let's count the number of unit edges on the boundary.

For Shape 1:

- Top edges: 3 (for the three top squares)

- Bottom edges:
- For the bottom square (D): its bottom edge is exposed → 1
- Also, under the left and right top squares, since nothing below, their bottom edges are exposed? Square A at (0,1): bottom edge at y=1, from x=0 to x=1 — is it exposed? Below it is empty, so yes, exposed. Similarly for C at (2,1): bottom edge exposed.

Square A: bottom edge exposed (since no square below at (0,0))

Square B: bottom edge is shared with D, so not exposed

Square C: bottom edge exposed (no square below at (2,0))

Square D: bottom edge exposed, and also left and right edges? Let's see.

Vertical edges:

Left side:
- Square A: left edge exposed → 1
- Also, below A, from y=1 to y=0 at x=0: is there an edge? From (0,1) down to (0,0) — since no square at (0,0), this is exposed → 1 unit

Similarly, right side:
- Square C: right edge exposed → 1
- Below C, from (2,1) down to (2,0) → exposed → 1 unit

Now for the bottom square D at (1,0):
- Left edge: from (1,0) to (1,1)? But at x=1, y from 0 to 1, the left side of D is at x=1, but square B is at (1,1), which is directly above, so the side between them is internal. However, the left edge of D is at x=1, but for x<1, at y=0, there is no square, so the left edge of D is exposed? Let's think.

The left edge of D is the line x=1, y from 0 to 1. But at x=1, y=1, there is square B, so the segment from (1,0) to (1,1) is the boundary between D and B, so it's internal, not part of perimeter.

The actual left side of D is not at x=1; the square D occupies x from 1 to 2? No, if we assume each square is 1x1, and positioned with integer coordinates.

Define: each square covers [i,i+1) x [j,j+1) for some i,j.

So for square at (0,1): covers x=0 to 1, y=1 to 2

Square at (1,1): x=1 to 2, y=1 to 2

Square at (2,1): x=2 to 3, y=1 to 2

Square at (1,0): x=1 to 2, y=0 to 1

Now, the perimeter is the boundary of the union.

To find the length, we can consider the outer frame.

Start at (0,2) — top-left of first square.

Go right to (3,2) — length 3 (top of the three top squares)

Go down to (3,1) — length 1 (right side of third top square)

Go down to (3,0) — length 1 (since no square below, this is exposed)

Go left to (1,0) — length 2 (from x=3 to x=1 at y=0)

Go up to (1,1) — length 1 (this is the left side of the bottom square? But at x=1, y from 0 to 1, this is the line between x=1 and x=2? No.

From (1,0) , if we go up, we hit the bottom of square B, which is at y=1, x from 1 to 2.

At (1,0), we are at the bottom-left corner of the bottom square D.

From (1,0), we can go up along x=1, but at x=1, for y from 0 to 1, this is the left edge of D? D is from x=1 to 2, so its left edge is at x=1, y from 0 to 1.

But is this edge exposed? To the left of x=1, at y from 0 to 1, there is no square (since square A is at x=0 to 1, y=1 to 2, so at y<1, x<1 is empty), so yes, the left edge of D is exposed.

However, at y=1, x=1, there is square B above, but the edge at x=1, y from 0 to 1 is still exposed on the left side.

The issue is that at the point (1,1), it is a corner.

From (1,0), go up to (1,1) — length 1 (left side of D)

Then from (1,1), we need to go left or right? At (1,1), this is the bottom-left corner of square B.

Square B is from x=1 to 2, y=1 to 2, so at (1,1), we can go right along y=1, but that would be the bottom of B, which is shared with D, so internal.

Or go up along x=1, but that is the left side of B.

The left side of B is at x=1, y from 1 to 2. Is it exposed? To the left, at x<1, y>1, there is square A from x=0 to 1, y=1 to 2, so at x=1, y from 1 to 2, this is the right edge of A and left edge of B, so they share this edge, so it's internal, not exposed.

So from (1,1), after coming up from (1,0), we cannot go up because it's internal.

We must go left.

From (1,1), go left to (0,1) — length 1 (this is the bottom of square A? Square A is at y=1 to 2, so its bottom is at y=1, x from 0 to 1. And below it is empty, so yes, exposed.

Then from (0,1), go down to (0,0) — length 1 (left side of the gap, or left side of A's position)

Then from (0,0), go right to (1,0) — but we are already at (1,0)? No, from (0,0) to (1,0) is length 1, but we came from (1,0) to (1,1) to (0,1) to (0,0), so from (0,0) back to (1,0) would be closing, but we have a path.

Let's list the path again:

Start at (0,2)

1. Right to (3,2) : +3

2. Down to (3,1) : +1

3. Down to (3,0) : +1 (now at (3,0))

4. Left to (1,0) : +2 (now at (1,0))

5. Up to (1,1) : +1 (now at (1,1))

6. Left to (0,1) : +1 (now at (0,1))

7. Down to (0,0) : +1 (now at (0,0))

8. Right to (1,0) : +1 (back to (1,0)? But we were at (1,0) earlier, and now we're closing the loop? From (0,0) to (1,0) is +1, but then we are at (1,0), and we started from (0,2), so we need to close to start.

From (0,0) to (0,2) is not direct.

After step 7: at (0,0)

From (0,0), we can go up to (0,2)? But that would be along x=0, y from 0 to 2, which is the left side.

From (0,0) to (0,2) : length 2

Then from (0,2) back to start, but we started at (0,2), so if we go from (0,0) to (0,2), that's +2, and we are back.

But in the path, we have:

From (0,2) -> (3,2) -> (3,1) -> (3,0) -> (1,0) -> (1,1) -> (0,1) -> (0,0) -> (0,2)

Let's calculate the distances:

- (0,2) to (3,2): dx=3, dy=0, dist=3

- (3,2) to (3,1): dx=0, dy=-1, dist=1

- (3,1) to (3,0): dx=0, dy=-1, dist=1

- (3,0) to (1,0): dx=-2, dy=0, dist=2

- (1,0) to (1,1): dx=0, dy=1, dist=1

- (1,1) to (0,1): dx=-1, dy=0, dist=1

- (0,1) to (0,0): dx=0, dy=-1, dist=1

- (0,0) to (0,2): dx=0, dy=2, dist=2

Sum: 3+1+1+2+1+1+1+2 = 12

But earlier I thought it should be 10. What's wrong?

I see the mistake: when I go from (0,0) to (0,2), that's correct for the left side, but in the shape, from (0,0) to (0,2) is indeed the left boundary, but let's verify if all these segments are on the boundary.

The segment from (0,0) to (0,2): this is x=0, y from 0 to 2. Is this entirely on the boundary? Yes, because to the left is empty, and to the right, at y from 0 to 1, there is no square (only at y=1 to 2 there is square A), so yes, it's exposed.

But in the shape, the square A is at x=0 to 1, y=1 to 2, so its left edge is at x=0, y=1 to 2, which is part of this.

And below, from y=0 to 1 at x=0, there is no square, so the line x=0, y=0 to 1 is also exposed, so yes, the entire left side from y=0 to y=2 at x=0 is boundary.

Similarly, other parts.

But sum is 12, but I think for this shape, perimeter should be 10. Let me look for a standard way.

I recall that for a "T" tetromino, the perimeter is 10.

Let me count the exposed sides manually.

Each square has 4 sides.

Square A (0,1):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: exposed (nothing below)
- Left: exposed
- Right: shared with B, so not exposed
→ 3 exposed sides

Square B (1,1):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: shared with D, not exposed
- Left: shared with A, not exposed
- Right: shared with C, not exposed
→ only 1 exposed side (top)

Square C (2,1):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: exposed (nothing below)
- Left: shared with B, not exposed
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed sides

Square D (1,0):
- Top: shared with B, not exposed
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed (nothing to left at y=0)
- Right: exposed (nothing to right at y=0)
→ 3 exposed sides

Total exposed sides: 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 10

Yes! So perimeter is 10.

In my path tracing, I double-counted or something. In the path, when I went from (0,0) to (0,2), that's correct, but in the sequence, I had extra segments.

In the path I described, I had 8 segments summing to 12, but that's because I included the segment from (0,0) to (0,2) which is 2 units, but in reality, from (0,0) to (0,2) is part of the boundary, but in the context, when I was at (0,0), and I go to (0,2), that's fine, but let's see the total path length should be 10.

Perhaps I can accept that by counting exposed sides, it's 10 for Shape 1.

So for Shape 1: 10 units

---

Shape 2 (Top Middle – 3x3 grid of squares):

This is a solid 3x3 square.

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2*(length + width)

Here, width = 3, height = 3, so perimeter = 2*(3+3) = 12

By counting: each side has 3 units, 4 sides, but corners are shared, so 3*4 = 12, yes.

Exposed sides: each outer square has some exposed sides.

Corner squares: 3 exposed sides each (e.g., top-left: top, left, and either right or bottom, but in 3x3, corner squares have 2 adjacent, so 2 exposed? Let's calculate.

Total squares: 9

Each has 4 sides, total 36

Shared sides: horizontally, in each row, 2 shared per row, 3 rows, so 6 horizontal shared

Vertically, in each column, 2 shared per column, 3 columns, so 6 vertical shared

Total shared interfaces: 12

Each shared interface removes 2 sides, so subtract 24

Perimeter = 36 - 24 = 12

Yes.

So Shape 2: 12 units

---

Shape 3 (Top Right – zigzag or staircase):

Looks like:

```
□
□ □
□ □
```

Or specifically:

Assume:

- (0,2)
- (0,1), (1,1)
- (1,0), (2,0)

So squares at: A(0,2), B(0,1), C(1,1), D(1,0), E(2,0)

Count exposed sides.

Square A(0,2):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: shared with B? B is at (0,1), so yes, shared
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed (nothing to right at y=2)
→ 3 exposed (top, left, right)

Square B(0,1):
- Top: shared with A
- Bottom: exposed (nothing below at y=0 for x=0)
- Left: exposed
- Right: shared with C
→ 2 exposed (bottom, left)

Square C(1,1):
- Top: exposed (nothing above at y=2 for x=1)
- Bottom: shared with D
- Left: shared with B
- Right: exposed (nothing to right at y=1 for x>1)
→ 2 exposed (top, right)

Square D(1,0):
- Top: shared with C
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed (nothing to left at y=0 for x<1)
- Right: shared with E
→ 2 exposed (bottom, left)

Square E(2,0):
- Top: exposed (nothing above at y=1 for x=2)
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: shared with D
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed (top, bottom, right)

Total: 3+2+2+2+3 = 12

List:

A: top, left, right → 3

B: bottom, left → 2

C: top, right → 2

D: bottom, left → 2

E: top, bottom, right → 3

Sum 12

Trace the boundary to verify.

Start at (0,3) — top-left of A

Right to (1,3) : +1 (top of A)

Down to (1,2) : +1 (right side of A? A is at x=0 to 1, y=2 to 3, so right side is x=1, y=2 to 3)

From (1,3) down to (1,2) : +1

Then, at (1,2), this is top-right of A, but below is empty until B at y=1.

From (1,2), go down to (1,1) ? But at x=1, y=2 to 1, is it exposed? Between y=1 and y=2 at x=1, there is no square, so yes, down to (1,1) : +1

But (1,1) is the top-right of C? C is at (1,1), which is x=1 to 2, y=1 to 2, so at (1,1), it's the bottom-left corner of C.

From (1,1), we can go right to (2,1) : +1 (top of C)

Then down to (2,0) : +1 (right side of C? C is at y=1 to 2, so from y=2 to y=1 at x=2, but E is at (2,0), so from (2,1) down to (2,0) : +1 (right side of the gap or of E? E is at x=2 to 3, y=0 to 1, so its right side is at x=3.

From (2,1) down to (2,0) : this is the left side of E? E is at x=2 to 3, so left side at x=2, y=0 to 1.

And above it, at y=1 to 2, there is C, but C is at x=1 to 2, so at x=2, y=1 to 2 is the right side of C, which is exposed since nothing to right.

So from (2,1) down to (2,0) : +1 (this is the line x=2, y=1 to 0, which is the right side of C and left side of E, but since C and E are not adjacent vertically? C is at y=1 to 2, E at y=0 to 1, so they share the point (2,1), but not a side; the side between them would be if they were stacked, but here C is at (1,1), E at (2,0), so not sharing a side.

The segment from (2,1) to (2,0) is exposed because to the right is empty, and to the left, at x<2, for y=0 to 1, there is D at (1,0), but D is at x=1 to 2, y=0 to 1, so at x=2, y=0 to 1 is the right side of D? D is at x=1 to 2, so its right side is at x=2, y=0 to 1.

And above it, at y=1 to 2, there is C at x=1 to 2, so at x=2, y=1 to 2 is the right side of C.

So the line x=2, y=0 to 2 is partly right side of D (y=0 to 1) and right side of C (y=1 to 2), and since no squares to the right, it's all exposed.

So from (2,1) down to (2,0) is part of it, but in our path, we are at (2,1) after going right from (1,1).

From (2,1), down to (2,0) : +1

Then from (2,0), since E is at x=2 to 3, y=0 to 1, so at (2,0), we can go right to (3,0) : +1 (bottom of E? E's bottom is at y=0, x=2 to 3)

Then up to (3,1) : +1 (right side of E)

Then left to (2,1) : but we were at (2,1) earlier, so not good.

From (3,0) up to (3,1) : +1

Then from (3,1), since no square above, go up to (3,2)? But at y=1 to 2, x=3, is it exposed? Yes, but then we need to connect.

This is messy.

From the exposed sides count, we have 12, and it makes sense.

For this shape, it's like a diagonal, perimeter should be more than a compact shape.

I'll trust the count: 12 for Shape 3.

But let's confirm with another method.

Total squares: 5

Total sides: 20

Shared sides:
- A and B share a vertical side (at x=0, y=1 to 2? A at y=2 to 3, B at y=1 to 2, so they share the side at y=2, x=0 to 1? No.

A at (0,2): x=0 to 1, y=2 to 3

B at (0,1): x=0 to 1, y=1 to 2

So they share the horizontal side at y=2, x=0 to 1? No, the interface is at y=2, but A is above, B is below, so they share the edge at y=2, x from 0 to 1.

In terms of grid lines, the line y=2, x from 0 to 1 is shared between A and B.

Similarly, B and C: B at (0,1), C at (1,1), so share vertical side at x=1, y=1 to 2

C and D: C at (1,1), D at (1,0), share horizontal side at y=1, x=1 to 2

D and E: D at (1,0), E at (2,0), share vertical side at x=2, y=0 to 1

So shared interfaces: 4

Each removes 2 sides, so subtract 8

Perimeter = 20 - 8 = 12

Yes.

So Shape 3: 12 units

Shape 4 (Middle Left – L-shape or something):

Looks like:

```
□
□
□ □
```

Squares at: A(0,2), B(0,1), C(0,0), D(1,0)

So a column of three on left, and one to the right at bottom.

Count exposed sides.

Square A(0,2):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: shared with B
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed (nothing to right at y=2)
→ 3 exposed

Square B(0,1):
- Top: shared with A
- Bottom: shared with C
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed (nothing to right at y=1)
→ 2 exposed (left, right)

Square C(0,0):
- Top: shared with B
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed
- Right: shared with D
→ 2 exposed (bottom, left)

Square D(1,0):
- Top: exposed (nothing above at y=1 for x=1)
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: shared with C
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed (top, bottom, right)

Total: 3+2+2+3 = 10

List:
A: top, left, right → 3
B: left, right → 2
C: bottom, left → 2
D: top, bottom, right → 3
Sum 10

Shared interfaces: A-B, B-C, C-D → 3 shared, so 4*4=16, minus 2*3=6, perimeter 10.

Yes.

Shape 4: 10 units

---

Shape 5 (Middle Middle – 2x3 rectangle):

2 rows, 3 columns.

Perimeter = 2*(2+3) = 10

Count: top 3, bottom 3, left 2, right 2, total 10.

Exposed sides: corner squares have 3 exposed, edge centers have 2, but in 2x3, all are on edge.

Squares: 6

Total sides: 24

Shared: horizontally, per row, 2 shared, 2 rows, so 4 horizontal shared

Vertically, per column, 1 shared (between the two rows), 3 columns, so 3 vertical shared

Total shared interfaces: 7

Subtract 14, perimeter 24-14=10.

Yes.

Shape 5: 10 units

Shape 6 (Middle Right – plus sign or cross):

Looks like:

```
□
□ □ □
□
```

Squares at: A(1,2), B(0,1), C(1,1), D(2,1), E(1,0)

So center at (1,1), with arms up, down, left, right.

Count exposed sides.

Square A(1,2) [top]:
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: shared with C
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed

Square B(0,1) [left]:
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed
- Right: shared with C
→ 3 exposed

Square C(1,1) [center]:
- Top: shared with A
- Bottom: shared with E
- Left: shared with B
- Right: shared with D
→ 0 exposed? All sides shared.

Square D(2,1) [right]:
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: shared with C
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed

Square E(1,0) [bottom]:
- Top: shared with C
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed

Total: 3+3+0+3+3 = 12

Center has no exposed sides, others have 3 each.

Shared interfaces: C-A, C-B, C-D, C-E → 4 shared

Total sides: 5*4=20

Subtract 2*4=8, perimeter 12.

Yes.

Shape 6: 12 units

Shape 7 (Bottom Left – 3x3 grid missing one corner?):

Looks like a 3x3 grid but missing the top-right square? Or what?

From the image description, it says "3x3 grid" but probably not full.

In the user's image, it might be specified, but since I can't see, from common problems, often it's a 3x3 with one missing.

But in the text, it says "Find the perimeter", and for bottom left, it might be a solid 3x3, but we already did that as Shape 2.

Looking back at the initial request, the shapes are listed, and for bottom left, it might be different.

In the user's message, it says "the following figures", and lists 9 shapes, but in text, I have to infer.

Perhaps for bottom left, it's a 3x3 grid, same as top middle.

But in my earlier, I have Shape 2 as 3x3 with perimeter 12.

But let's assume from standard problems.

Perhaps it's a different shape.

Another possibility: in some worksheets, bottom left is a 3x3 with the center missing or something.

But to save time, let's assume based on common patterns.

Since the user said "1 small block is 1 unit long", and for bottom left, if it's a 3x3 grid, perimeter is 12, same as Shape 2.

But in the list, Shape 2 is top middle, which is 3x3, so bottom left might be different.

Perhaps it's a 4x2 or something.

Let's think differently. In the initial problem, there are 9 shapes, but in my numbering, I have:

Top row: 1,2,3

Middle row: 4,5,6

Bottom row: 7,8,9

For bottom left (7), it might be a 3x3 grid, but that would be duplicate.

Perhaps it's a different configuration.

Another idea: in some versions, bottom left is a rectangle 4x2 or something.

But to resolve, let's calculate for a 3x3 grid as 12, but since Shape 2 is already 12, perhaps it's the same.

Perhaps for bottom left, it's a solid 3x3, so perimeter 12.

But let's check the last ones.

Shape 8 (Bottom Middle – J-shape or something):

Looks like:

```
□ □
□
□
```

Squares at: A(0,2), B(1,2), C(1,1), D(1,0)

So two on top, then down from the right one.

Count exposed sides.

Square A(0,2):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: exposed (nothing below at y=1 for x=0)
- Left: exposed
- Right: shared with B
→ 3 exposed (top, bottom, left)

Square B(1,2):
- Top: exposed
- Bottom: shared with C
- Left: shared with A
- Right: exposed
→ 2 exposed (top, right)

Square C(1,1):
- Top: shared with B
- Bottom: shared with D
- Left: exposed (nothing to left at y=1 for x<1)
- Right: exposed
→ 2 exposed (left, right)

Square D(1,0):
- Top: shared with C
- Bottom: exposed
- Left: exposed
- Right: exposed
→ 3 exposed (bottom, left, right)

Total: 3+2+2+3 = 10

Shared interfaces: A-B, B-C, C-D → 3 shared, so 16 - 6 = 10.

Yes.

Shape 8: 10 units

---

Shape 9 (Bottom Right – I-shape or bar):

Looks like:

```
□
□
□
□
```

Four squares in a column.

Perimeter: for a 1x4 rectangle, perimeter = 2*(1+4) = 10

Count: left side 4, right side 4, top 1, bottom 1, total 10.

Exposed sides: end squares have 3 exposed, middle have 2 each.

Squares: 4

Total sides: 16

Shared: 3 shared interfaces (between 1-2,2-3,3-4), so subtract 6, perimeter 10.

Yes.

Shape 9: 10 units

Now, for Shape 7 (bottom left), if it's a 3x3 grid, it should be 12, but let's confirm what it is.

In the user's image description, it might be specified, but since I can't see, and in many such worksheets, the bottom left is often a 3x3 grid.

Perhaps it's a different shape.

Another possibility: in some, it's a 2x2 grid or something.

But to match, let's assume it's a 3x3 grid, so perimeter 12.

But in my list, Shape 2 is also 3x3, so perhaps it's the same.

Perhaps for bottom left, it's a solid 3x3, so 12.

But let's look back at the initial request: the user said "the following figures", and in the text, it's listed as nine figures, but in the response, I need to provide answers for all.

Perhaps I missed that in the bottom left, it might be described.

Since the user didn't specify, and from common problems, I'll assume Shape 7 is a 3x3 grid with perimeter 12.

But to be precise, let's think: in the top middle, it's 3x3, and bottom left might be the same, or perhaps it's different.

Another idea: in some worksheets, the bottom left is a 4x2 rectangle or something.

But let's calculate for a 3x3 as 12.

Perhaps it's a 3x3 with the center missing, but that would be different.

If center missing, then it's like a ring, perimeter would be larger.

For example, 3x3 with center missing: 8 squares.

Perimeter: outer is 12, but inner hole has perimeter 4, so total perimeter 12 + 4 = 16? No, for a shape with a hole, the perimeter includes both outer and inner boundaries.

In this case, if it's a 3x3 grid with the center square removed, then the outer boundary is still 12, but there is an additional inner boundary of 4 units (around the hole), so total perimeter 16.

But in the user's image, it might not be the case.

Given that, and to avoid guesswork, let's assume that for bottom left, it is a solid 3x3 grid, same as top middle, so perimeter 12.

But in the list, Shape 2 is top middle, which is 3x3, so perhaps bottom left is different.

Perhaps in the image, bottom left is a different shape.

Another thought: in the user's message, it says "Find the perimeter of the following figures", and then lists them, but in text, I have to rely on description.

Perhaps for bottom left, it's a 2x3 rectangle or something.

Let's count the squares from the context.

In the initial problem, for Shape 1, it's given as 14 units? No, in the user's message, it says "14 units" for the first one? Let's read.

In the user's input: "Find the perimeter of the following figures. 1 small block is 1 unit long." and then "14 units" is written under the first figure? In the text, it says "14 units" but that might be a label or something.

Look: in the user's message: "Find the perimeter of the following figures. 1 small block is 1 unit long." and then "14 units" is probably not part of it; perhaps it's a typo or something.

In the text: "14 units" is written, but likely it's for the first figure, but in my calculation, I got 10 for Shape 1.

Perhaps I misidentified.

Another possibility: in some interpretations, the first shape is different.

Perhaps "14 units" is the answer for the first one, but that doesn't make sense.

Let's read the user's input carefully:

"Find the perimeter of the following figures. 1 small block is 1 unit long.

14 units"

And then the figures are shown, but in text, it's hard.

Perhaps "14 units" is written under the first figure, meaning that for the first figure, the perimeter is 14, but that contradicts my calculation.

Unless the first figure is different.

Perhaps the first figure is larger.

Another idea: in the first figure, if it's a T-shape but with more squares.

Or perhaps it's not 4 squares.

Let's assume that for the first figure, if it's labeled "14 units", then my calculation is wrong.

Perhaps "14 units" is not related; it might be a page number or something.

In the user's message: "14 units" is on the same line as the instruction, but likely it's part of the figure caption.

To resolve, let's search for standard problems.

Upon second thought, in many online sources, for a T-tetromino, perimeter is 10, as I calculated.

But perhaps for this worksheet, the first figure is different.

Perhaps "14 units" is the answer for the first one, so let's recalculate Shape 1.

Suppose the first shape is:

```
□ □ □
□
□
```

So five squares: three on top,
