Perimeter & Area Class 6 ICSE Worksheet Free PDF Download with Answers

Perimeter and Area is one of the most practical chapters in Class 6 maths. You're calculating the fencing around a garden, the tiles needed for a floor, or the paint required for a wall. These are real problems that adults deal with every day.

But here's the catch — students often mix up perimeter and area, or forget which formula goes with which shape. The only fix is practice. This worksheet has 60 questions that take you from basic formula application all the way to composite figure problems. Every answer includes step-by-step working.

The worksheet covers the ICSE Class 6 syllabus for Perimeter & Area (Chapter 10):

Level 1 (Basics — 20 questions):
- Perimeter of squares and rectangles
- Area of squares and rectangles
- Finding side length when perimeter or area is given
- Converting units (cm to m, m to cm)

Level 2 (Application — 20 questions):
- Area of triangles (right-angled and general)
- Perimeter of irregular shapes by adding sides
- Word problems — fencing, flooring, painting
- Finding cost when rate per sq. m or per metre is given

Level 3 (Challenge — 20 questions):
- Composite figures (L-shapes, T-shapes, paths)
- Area of paths and borders around rectangles
- Problems involving both perimeter and area together
- Multi-step word problems with unit conversion

Here's what you'll find inside:

Q1 (Level 1): Find the perimeter and area of a rectangle with length $12$ cm and breadth $8$ cm.

Q2 (Level 1): The area of a square is $144$ sq. cm. Find the length of each side.

Q3 (Level 2): A rectangular garden is $25$ m long and $18$ m wide. Find the cost of fencing it at Rs $45$ per metre.

Q4 (Level 2): Find the area of a triangle with base $14$ cm and height $9$ cm.

Q5 (Level 3): A rectangular room is $8$ m by $6$ m. A $1$ m wide path runs around the outside of the room. Find the area of the path.

Q6 (Level 3): An L-shaped figure is made of two rectangles. The first is $10$ cm by $4$ cm and the second is $6$ cm by $3$ cm. Find the total area and the perimeter of the L-shape.

Perimeter and Area connects closely to other geometry and measurement topics:

• Basic Geometry — understanding shapes and angles helps you identify the right formula
  - Decimals — many area problems give measurements in decimals
  - Algebra Introduction — perimeter and area formulas use variables, great for connecting the two topics

In Class 7 and Class 8, you'll extend these ideas to circles, volumes, and surface areas. Getting the rectangle and triangle formulas down now builds a strong base for those more advanced topics.
