The two red triangles are both the same size and are equilateral
The three blue squares are the same size
The total area of the three squares is 75cm2
What is the total perimeter of both the triangles when added together?
Click mouse to start answer sequences
The area of one square is 75cm2 ÷ 3 = 25cm2
The length of one side of a square is 5cm
The length of one side of a triangle is 5cm x 2 = 10cm
The perimeter of a triangle is 10cm x 3 = 30cm
The perimeter of two triangles is 30cm x 2 = 60cm

To find the volume of a cube the length of the cube is multiplied by its width and height.
length
width
height Tom arranges four cubes the same size as shown. The total volume of the
shape is 108cm3
What is the length of each edge of the cubes?
3cm
One cube has a volume of 108cm3 ÷ 4 = 27cm3
Length x width x height = 27cm3 so each edge is 3cm
3cm x 3cm x 3cm = 27cm3
