The perimeter may not be small enough to measure with just a ruler. For example, if a side of a rectangle was 30 inches, how would you use a 12 inch ruler to accurately measure that side? Also, if you were measuring a shape like a circle or oval, a tape measure is flexible.
On Part A you have to subtract $2.39-$1.99. Then in Part B you have to multiply $4.50 by 2. And then I think you have to add $3.79 when u are done multiplying.
