It defines the perimeter as the total length of all sides of a shape and presents a unified formula applicable to both squares and rectangles: (height/length x 2) + (width x 2). The document outlines a step-by-step process, beginning with clearly labeling the sides of the shape to facilitate the substitution of values into the formula. It then details the calculation, emphasizing the multiplication of each dimension by two before summing the results to determine the final perimeter. The explanation is reinforced with examples for both a square and a rectangle, illustrating the practical application of the formula. The advice to consistently label sides and follow these methodical steps is highlighted as beneficial for tackling more complex calculations with larger numbers. The document concludes by encouraging students to seek additional assistance from a Language and Learning Advisor at CDU.",{"@graph":69,"@context":127},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":57,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/general/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/perimeter-of-a-square-and-rectangle-transcript/269948/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/perimeter-of-a-square-and-rectangle-transcript/269948.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Hazel","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119,123],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"What is the perimeter of a shape?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"The perimeter is the total length of all sides of a shape.","Answer",{"name":116,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a square or rectangle?",{"text":118,"@type":114},"The formula used for both squares and rectangles is (height or length times two) plus (width times two).",{"name":120,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":121},"What is the first step in calculating the perimeter?",{"text":122,"@type":114},"It is best to first label your sides so it is easier to put numbers into the equation.",{"name":124,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":125},"Where can I get more support with this topic?",{"text":126,"@type":114},"You can reach out to a Language and Learning Advisor at CDU for further support.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":129,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":131,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":133,"site_id":62},269948,1790002645,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":136},{"doc_id":133,"user_id":137,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":138,"doc_module":4,"category_id":56,"category_name":57,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":139,"file_id":140,"file_url":141,"file_type":142,"file_size":143,"view_count":105,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":144,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":145,"faqs":146,"seo_title":147,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":148,"read_time":14},137441390410,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/2000252f4ab5702993?_k=1776741390130283984","Numeracy at CDU  \nPerimeter of a square/rectangle  \nThe perimeter is the total length of all sides of a shape. We are going to look at how to work out the perimeter of a square or rectangle. As both shapes have four sides, the formula we use is the same. That is, the height or length times two plus the width times two.  \nFirst, label your sides so it is easier to put numbers into the equation. In this example we’ll get 5cm times two, plus 5cm times two. Second, work out each multiplication. Third, add the two together to get your answer.  \nNow let’s look at a rectangle. Again, label the sides and use the side lengths in your equation. The process is the same as before.  \nIt is best to get into the habit of labelling sides and following the steps for when numbers are larger and the math is more complex.  \nRemember to reach out to a Language and Learning Advisor for further support.","cbCaiiwT0c026FkJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiwT0c026FkJ","pdf",146619,"English","# Perimeter of a square/rectangle\n## Formula for Perimeter\n## Calculating Perimeter for a Square\n## Calculating Perimeter for a Rectangle\n## General Advice","[{\"question\":\"What is the perimeter of a shape?\",\"answer\":\"The perimeter is the total length of all sides of a shape.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a square or rectangle?\",\"answer\":\"The formula used for both squares and rectangles is (height or length times two) plus (width times two).\"},{\"question\":\"What is the first step in calculating the perimeter?\",\"answer\":\"It is best to first label your sides so it is easier to put numbers into the equation.\"},{\"question\":\"Where can I get more support with this topic?\",\"answer\":\"You can reach out to a Language and Learning Advisor at CDU for further support.\"}]","Perimeter of a Square and Rectangle Transcript | PDF",1789454326]
