2.  Perimeter is the distance around the outside edges of an object.  Can be measured in feet, inches, miles, centimeters, meters, or kilometers  Area is the amount of space inside the edges of an object.  Can me measured in square feet, square inches, square miles, square centimeters, square meters, or square kilometers  Symmetry is when you can split an object in half and both sides look exactly the same.  Symmetry isn’t something that you measure

3.  Rug Measurements  Length= 32 inches  Width= 20 inches  Perimeter= 104 inches  Area= 640 square inches Perimeter Area

4.  My mom said I could get a puppy, but I have to help my dad build a rectangle cage for it in the backyard. I want to make it big enough so my puppy has room to play. If I make the perimeter 40 feet what would the length and width be? How much area would my puppy have to play?

5. Perimeter= 15ft + 15ft + 5ft + 5ft =40 ft 30ft + 10ft =40ft Area = 15ft x 5ft=75 square feet 10 x 5= 50 and 5 x 5 = 25 so 50+25=75 5 ft 15 ft 5 ft

6.  I would need to know how to find perimeter if I was building something.  Like if I was building a sandbox with my dad or a box for a flower bed. I would need to know the perimeter to figure out how many pieces of wood we need to buy.  I would need to know how to find the area if I was buying a new rug.  Like if I was getting a new race track rug for my room I would need to know the area of it to make sure it will fit in my room.

7.  I would use perimeter when making a garden with my group. We might want to put a border around it and we would need to know the perimeter.  I would need to know the area of our garden so I can talk to the landscaper about how many plants we need to put in it to take up the space.  I want to make sure our garden is the same on both sides so I would need to use a line of symmetry to make sure it is.
