Perimeter of Rectilinear Shapes Worksheet Download
This math worksheet practices the perimeter of rectilinear figures. Each L-shape or step shape has one or two sides with no length, so students first work out the missing sides from the sides across from them, then add every side to find the perimeter. The answer key shows the missing lengths on each figure and the sum.
