Question
- true or false?
if you wanted to build a fence
around your garden, you
would need to find the
perimeter.
(a) if your answer is true color
the objects in the hands grey.
(b) if your answer is false color
the objects in the hands red.
Step1: Recall the definition of perimeter
The perimeter of a shape is the total length of its boundary.
Step2: Relate perimeter to fencing a garden
To build a fence around a garden, we need to know the total length of the boundary of the garden (so we can determine how much fencing material is needed). This total length is the perimeter. So the statement is True.
