Side Detective

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on finding missing side lengths when given the total perimeter of polygons such as hexagons, quadrilaterals, and pentagons. Students are provided with a perimeter value and several known side lengths, requiring them to determine the missing side by subtracting from the total. The exercises vary in complexity, ensuring students practice with different polygon types. This worksheet enhances logical reasoning and mathematical accuracy.

Solving these problems helps students develop strong number sense and improve their ability to work with equations in geometry. It also reinforces subtraction skills and teaches them how to approach missing value problems step by step. The concept is useful in real-life scenarios, such as estimating materials for construction or designing layouts. Practicing with this worksheet helps students build confidence in problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.
