Sample questions (in Chinese)

Question 1每個小方格的邊長是 1 厘米。這個圖形的周界是多少厘米?

周界 = 厘米

Answer and explanation

答案:周界 = 18 厘米

為甚麼?沿着邊界數一數,每段長 1 厘米:橫的邊上下各 5 段,直的邊共 8 段。5 + 5 + 8 = 18。

Question 2圖形甲和乙都由 6 個小方格組成。哪一個的周界較長?

甲乙
  1. 一樣長
  2. 甲
  3. 乙
Answer and explanation

答案:A.一樣長

為甚麼?甲:沿着邊界數一數,每段長 1 厘米:橫的邊上下各 3 段,直的邊共 6 段。3 + 3 + 6 = 12。乙:沿着邊界數一數,每段長 1 厘米:橫的邊上下各 2 段,直的邊共 8 段。2 + 2 + 8 = 12。兩個周界一樣長。小方格數目相同,周界不一定相同。

Question 3一個正方形的邊長是 10 厘米。它的周界是多少厘米?

10 厘米

周界 = 厘米

Answer and explanation

答案:周界 = 40 厘米

為甚麼?正方形的周界 = 邊長 × 4 = 10 × 4 = 40 厘米。

Question 4一個長方形長 21 厘米、闊 20 厘米。它的周界是多少厘米?

21 厘米20 厘米

周界 = 厘米

Answer and explanation

答案:周界 = 82 厘米

為甚麼?長方形的周界 = (長 + 闊) × 2 = (21 + 20) × 2 = 41 × 2 = 82 厘米。
