PERIMETER GRADE 3
Hello, How are you doing? Today, we are going to start a new lesson on Perimeter.
Perimeter Perimeter is defined as the distance around an object or shape.
Rules to find the perimeter Rule 1:Measure the length of all sides of the shape. Rule 2:Add all the measured sides of the shape. The sum of all the sides gives the perimeter.
Example: Find the perimeter of the given rectangle. Perimeter of the given rectangle is = = 32 cm 5 cm 11 cm
Perimeter of square Perimeter of the shape when all the sides of the shape are equal = 4 x length of side Example – Perimeter of square 4 cm Perimeter of square = 4 x side = 4 x 4 = 16 cm
Perimeter Perimeter obeys Commutative property of addition. Perimeter of the rectangle does not change if the lengths of the sides are added in a different order.
Find the perimeter of the hexagon given below. Answer- 18 cm 3 cm
Important Tips Two different polygons can have the same perimeter. Perimeter can be calculated only of the closed figure.
