Perimeter Problems

The document contains several word problems involving calculating perimeters of different shapes such as rectangles, pentagons, and hexagons. The lengths of sides are given and the task is to calculate missing lengths or the total perimeter. For rectangles, possibilities are drawn with different integer side lengths that equal the given perimeter. Pentagon problems involve calculating perimeter when one side length is given or finding the unknown side length when the total perimeter is given.
