Representing
and Applying Geometric Properties
Learn
to use background knowledge and text structure to make complex
predictions.
Explanation
This is
simply an explanation on how you use volume, area, and perimeter
in real life. Simple enough.
How
you use area
Your Mrs.
Wubbena and your buying a $500,000 beachfront house (hehe).
You want to know how big it is. This is how you would use
area, in either square feet, or square meters. So, your also
buying a house with a side that measures 60 feet and another
side that measures 120 feet. How many square feet is your
house? 7,200ftsquared sounds about right.
How
you use perimeter
You would
use perimeter if you were putting in a fence. Say you need
to cover a square yard with a legnth of 7 meters. How many
meters of fence do you need to buy? 28 meters
How
you would use volume
You could
use volume if you were putting a koi pond in your back yard,
like lucky old Matt. If the pond has a legnth of 7 meters,
a width of 10 meters, and a depth of 2 meters, what is the
volume? 140 cubic meters is correct.
