Area of a rectangle, sides to 10

Name Date Score / 8

Find the area of each rectangle: multiply the two side lengths. The drawings are not life size, so use the numbers on the sides.

How it works

Free area and perimeter worksheets start with rectangles on a grid to count and go on to labeled sides, L shapes and missing sides. Each Make a new sheet deals new sides; the key prints on page 2.

Area first, then perimeter

Start on Count the squares to find the area: a grid 3 rows by 6 squares holds 18, which is why 3 × 6 works. Then Area of a rectangle, sides to 10 labels two sides only. For perimeter every side is added, so the key writes 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26.

Finding area and perimeter backwards

The missing-side sheets give the perimeter or the area and one side. From an area of 96 and a side of 8, the other side is 96 ÷ 8 = 12. The last two sheets are tables: one perimeter, several rectangles, different areas.

  • If a pupil writes 28 for a 7 by 4 rectangle's perimeter, they found the area. Ask which one a fence needs.
  • The drawings are not life size, so a ruler on the paper gives the wrong answer. The labels are the lengths.

Questions and answers

Is there a find the area of a rectangle worksheet with drawings?

Yes. Area of a rectangle, sides to 10 draws eight rectangles in proportion, each with two sides labeled in cm, in, ft or m, and the key gives the area in square units with the product, such as 40 square inches (10 × 4).

Do these come as area and perimeter worksheets with answers pdf?

Press Print and choose Save as PDF in the print window. The answer key is the second page of the same file, with each answer worked, such as Perimeter = 54 in (20 + 7 + 20 + 7).

What grade learns area and perimeter?

In Common Core states, grade 3 finds area by counting squares and multiplying sides, and solves perimeter problems; grade 4 uses both formulas to find a missing side. The 2-digit sheets here are grade 4 work.

Area 6

  • Area as rows of squares added A grid of 3 rows of 5 squares is 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 squares: the addition that multiplication shortens.
  • Area of a rectangle, sides to 10 A rectangle 7 units by 4 units has an area of 7 × 4 = 28 square units. Each rectangle is drawn in proportion with two sides labeled.
  • Area of L shapes A dashed line cuts each L into two rectangles: 4 × 3 + 2 × 5 = 12 + 10 = 22 square units.
  • Area of rectangles with 2-digit sides A room 24 feet by 13 feet has an area of 24 × 13 = 312 square feet. No drawing: the sides are written in a line.
  • Count the squares to find the area A grid 3 squares tall and 6 wide holds 18 unit squares. Counting first shows why 3 × 6 gives the area.
  • Split a rectangle to find its area A 6 by 13 rectangle cut at 10 is 6 × 10 + 6 × 3 = 60 + 18 = 78: two easy products instead of one hard one.

Perimeter 3

  • Perimeter of a drawn rectangle Add all four sides, not just the two labeled ones: 8 + 5 + 8 + 5 = 26 units.
  • Perimeter of rectangles with 2-digit sides A field 28 yards by 17 yards has a perimeter of 28 + 17 + 28 + 17 = 90 yards, or 2 × (28 + 17).
  • Perimeter of rectangles, sides to 20 A rectangle 17 by 9 has a perimeter of 17 + 9 + 17 + 9 = 52. The sides are given in words, one rectangle a line.

Missing sides 2

  • Find the missing side from the area An area of 96 square meters and a side of 8 meters leave 96 ÷ 8 = 12 meters for the other side.
  • Find the missing side from the perimeter A rectangle 9 long with a perimeter of 30: the two lengths make 18, so the two widths make 12 and each is 6.

Same area or same perimeter 2

  • Same area, different perimeters An area of 36 fits a 9 by 4 rectangle (perimeter 26) and a 6 by 6 square (perimeter 24): the squarer, the shorter the fence.
  • Same perimeter, different areas A perimeter of 16 fits a 7 by 1, a 6 by 2, a 5 by 3 and a 4 by 4 rectangle: areas 7, 12, 15 and 16.

How this list was compiled: Own list of sheet types, written September 2026. Area of a rectangle as length times width and perimeter as the distance around (twice the length plus twice the width) were checked against https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter, read 23 September 2026. The grades were read in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, https://learning.ccsso.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Math_Standards1.pdf (3.MD.5 to 3.MD.8 and 4.MD.3), 23 September 2026. Every worked example was checked by a script and again by hand. Licence: own work
