This math topic focuses on understanding how to calculate the perimeter of simple geometric shapes. The problems present different shapes—square, triangle, and rectangle—and ask how to determine their perimeters, providing multiple choice responses. Each question is aimed at testing the student's ability to identify the correct formula for calculating the perimeter based on the attributes of each shape. This topic is meant as an introduction to the concept of perimeters.
