Question

Which phrases relate to perimeter? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) refers to the distance around a figure

(c) used to find the amount of fencing

(e) estimated by counting the squares inside

(f) calculated by adding the side lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

In the simplest term, the perimeter of a given figure is the distance around that figure. This also means that the perimeter of a figure can be found by adding the lengths of all its sides.

If perimeter is the distance around a figure, then it could be measured in any specified units of length e.g meter, yard, inch e.t.c.

Perimeter can also be estimated by counting the squares inside a given enclosure.

A practical application of perimeter is that it comes to play when, for example, there is a need to build a fence around an area.

PS:

For other options;

=> Perimeter is not given in square units. That is rather typical of area

=> Perimeter is not used to find the amount of carpeting. That is also typical of area
