Answer:
We often find the perimeter when putting up Christmas lights around the house or fencing the backyard garden. Other examples may include finding the total length of the boundary of the soccer field or the length of the crochet or ribbon required to cover the border of a table mat.
We use a ruler to measure length of the sides of a small regular shape. The perimeter is determined by adding the lengths of the sides/edges of the shape.
For small irregular shapes, we can use a string of thread and place it exactly along the boundary of the shape, once. The total length of the string used along the boundary is the perimeter of the shape.
The Perimeter of a circle is called the circumference. Circumference is calculated using the formula 2π × r .
Instead of giving math practice worksheets on perimeter to your children, give them craft material like craft paper, crayons, glue stick and ask them to create a rectangular Christmas greeting card with a border on all its sides.
You can also show them objects and ask them what’s the perimeter. You can discuss how the perimeter of each of those objects can be calculated.
In geometry, perimeter can be defined as the path or the boundary that surrounds a . It can also be defined as the length of the outline of a shape.
