This math topic focuses on finding the perimeters of simple shapes by applying specific perimeter formulas. It challenges students to connect perimeter formulas to the corresponding shapes, such as a triangle (sum of three sides), square (four times one side), or rectangle (double the sum of length and width). The problems require identifying which shape corresponds to given algebraic expressions representing their perimeters. This is part of an advanced unit on perimeter calculations.
