Find the Perimeter of Quadrilaterals (Not Squares or Rectangles)

Discussion: Perimeter of Quadrilaterals

To find the perimeter of any quadrilateral, you need to add up the lengths of all four sides. The formula for the perimeter is:

Perimeter = side 1 + side 2 + side 3 + side 4

Let's look at some types of quadrilaterals that are not squares or rectangles:

Rhombus: A rhombus has all sides of equal length, so you can multiply one side by 4 to find the perimeter.
Parallelogram: In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal, so the perimeter is calculated as 2 × (length + width).
Trapezoid: A trapezoid has one pair of parallel sides. The perimeter is found by adding all four sides.
Kite: A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length. The perimeter is found by adding the lengths of all four sides.

In this quiz, you'll practice finding the perimeter of different quadrilaterals that are not squares or rectangles. Let's get started!

Now that you’ve learned how to calculate the perimeter of various quadrilaterals, it’s time to test your knowledge!
