P6 Math: Finding Perimeter of Rectangle without Length or Breadth given

P3/P4 Math: Area and Perimeter of Rectangles with missing Length

P6 Math: Circles with Rectangles and Diagonals
A rectangle is drawn inside a circle with one of its corner at the center of the circle.
The diagonal length of the rectangle between 2 corners is provided together with its length and breadth.
Students are expected to find the area of the circle using the information from the rectangle(within the circle).
Such questions often appear in P6 Paper 2 during the Prelims.
Calculator usage is allowed.
The semi-circle below has a rectangle inside of it.
The rectangle was drawn from the center of the circle.
What is the area of this semi-circle?
Take π to be 3.14
If the above question is easy, try to do the more challenging question below
P6 Math: Composite figure of Square formed around the edges of a Rectangle
The question below is a relatively uncommon one.
2 pairs of squares are drawn along the edges of a rectangle.
The total area of the 4 squares and the perimeter of the rectangle is known.
With that, students must find out what is the area of the rectangle in the middle.
Such questions appear in Paper 2 of P6 Prelim papers.
Calculator usage is allowed.

P4/P5 Math: Composite Figure made of Identical Rectangles
The formula for area and perimeter of shapes such as rectangles or square are taught since P3.
Composite figures made of identical rectangles requires students to be able to see lengths and breadths of each rectangle and how they are related to the composite figure.
Such questions are common for P4 Section C and P5 Paper 1.
No calculator is allowed.

P6 Math: Perimeter of Inner Rectangle to find Area of 4 Outer Rectangles
P6 Area and Perimeter can be challenging with questions such as the one below.
A shaded rectangle is surrounded by smaller unshaded rectangles along it's lengths and breadths.
The perimeter of the shaded rectangle and the breadth of each smaller rectangle is given.
Such questions usually appear in P6 Paper 1 exams.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

P3/P4 Math: Areas and Perimeters of Squares
Areas and Perimeters of shapes such as squares and rectangles are taught in P3 and P4.
Though the formula is easy to remember, this becomes more challenging when the length of a square is not given but with the perimeter or area, students are expected to find the other.

P4 Math: Area and Perimeter of Square and Rectangle with Same Areas or Perimeters
P5/P6 Math: Perimeter of Multiple Squares/Equilateral Triangles
The question type below is common for P5 and P6 and often appears as the last question of Paper 1.
Calculator usage is not allowed.
