Grade 4 Area and Perimeter Practice Test

Build Grade 4 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on area, perimeter, rectangles, squares, missing side lengths, and measurement word problems.

Area and Perimeter Practice Tests

These Grade 4 Math practice tests help students find the area and perimeter of rectangles and squares. Students also solve missing-dimension problems and apply measurement formulas to gardens, rooms, frames, rugs, and playgrounds.

Skills covered

  • Finding the area of rectangles and squares
  • Finding the perimeter of rectangles and squares
  • Solving for missing side lengths
  • Choosing square units for area
  • Applying area and perimeter to word problems
  • Comparing shapes by area or perimeter

How to use these practice tests

Area measures the space inside a shape. For a rectangle, use length times width. Perimeter measures the distance around a shape, so add all side lengths or use 2 times the length plus 2 times the width. Area uses square units, while perimeter uses regular units.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which formula finds the area of a rectangle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Length × width.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is Length × width.

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length by its width.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Which formula finds the perimeter of a rectangle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 2 × length + 2 × width.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: A rectangle has two lengths and two widths, so its perimeter is 2l + 2w.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 2 × length + 2 × width.

A rectangle has two lengths and two widths, so its perimeter is 2l + 2w.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which two rectangles have the same area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 3 by 8 and 4 by 6.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: Both 3 × 8 and 4 × 6 equal 24 square units.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 3 by 8 and 4 by 6.

Both 3 × 8 and 4 × 6 equal 24 square units.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which two shapes have the same perimeter?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A 6-by-4 rectangle and a 5-by-5 square.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: The rectangle has perimeter 20 and the square has perimeter 20.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is A 6-by-4 rectangle and a 5-by-5 square.

The rectangle has perimeter 20 and the square has perimeter 20.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What unit is usually used for the area of a flat shape?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Square units.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: Area measures the amount of surface, so it uses square units.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is Square units.

Area measures the amount of surface, so it uses square units.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has area 30 square units and length 6 units. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5 units.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: Width = area ÷ length = 30 ÷ 6 = 5 units.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 5 units.

Width = area ÷ length = 30 ÷ 6 = 5 units.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the perimeter of a square with side length 4 units?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 16 units.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: A square has four sides, so 4 × 4 = 16 units.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 16 units.

A square has four sides, so 4 × 4 = 16 units.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has area 42 square units and length 7 units. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 6 units.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: Width = 42 ÷ 7 = 6 units.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 6 units.

Width = 42 ÷ 7 = 6 units.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which rectangle has the greatest area?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A 4-by-4 rectangle.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: The areas are 12, 15, 12, and 16 square units, so 4 by 4 is greatest.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is A 4-by-4 rectangle.

The areas are 12, 15, 12, and 16 square units, so 4 by 4 is greatest.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

A playground is 8 meters long and has perimeter 26 meters. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5 meters.

  1. Choose the formula: Use length times width for area and add all side lengths for perimeter.
  2. Substitute the measurements: Half of 26 is 13, and 13 − 8 = 5 meters.
  3. Include the correct unit: The correct choice is 5 meters.

Half of 26 is 13, and 13 − 8 = 5 meters.
