Study Notes
Key Terminology
- Circumference: The distance around a circle.
- Plane Figure: A two-dimensional geometric figure.
- Dimensions: Measurements that define the size of an object, including length, width, and height.
- Perimeter: The total distance around the boundary of a plane figure.
Perimeter Calculations
- Square Perimeter: For a square with sides measuring 3 3/4 inches, the perimeter is 15 inches.
- Rectangle Perimeter: Given a rectangle with one length of 14 meters and a total perimeter of 44 meters, the width is determined to be 8 meters.
- Triangle Perimeter: For a triangle with sides measuring 7.3 cm and 2.94 cm, the total perimeter is 14.8 cm. An incorrect equation to find the third side is x - 14.8 = 2.94 + 7.3.
- Unknown Sides: If the total perimeter of a certain figure is 70 feet, one unknown side can be determined to be 6 feet.
Circumference Applications
- Bicycle Tires: With 20-inch diameter wheels, the estimated rubber length from both tires is approximately 120 inches.
- Pizza Crust: A 14-inch pizza has an estimated crust circumference of 43.96 inches, using 3.14 for pi.
- Radius from Circumference: For a circle with a circumference of 19.468 meters, the radius calculates to about 3.1 meters.
Real-World Applications
- Kennel Fencing: To build a rectangular dog kennel measuring 12 feet 3 inches by 8 feet 11 inches, approximately 42 feet of fencing is needed.
- Picture Frame Board: For a frame requiring dimensions of 2 feet by 18 inches, Carl must use a board that is 7 feet long.
Other Key Figures
- Circumference in Yards: An unspecified figure has a circumference converted to 1.57 yards.
