How to calculate the perimeter of compound shapes
A compound shape is a shape made up of 2 or more basic shapes that are joined together. You can think of the shape of a capital L as being a compound shape made up of 2 rectangles at right angles to each other. The procedure for calculating the perimeter of a compound shape is as follows:
- Identify the individual shapes that make up the compound shape.
- Measure the length of each side of the individual shapes and add them together to find the perimeter of each shape.
- Add the perimeters of all the individual shapes together.
- Subtract the lengths of any sides that are shared by more than 1 shape.
For example, if a compound shape is made up of a square with sides of length 2 cm and an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 cm, it's perimeter will be:
2 cm x 4 (the square)
plus
2 cm x 3 (the triangle)
minus
2 cm (their shared side)
= 12 cm
Notes on this topic
This topic asks you calculate perimeters in terms of x where x represents some length with a given unit.
