Measuring Tapa Cloth


This is our problem for maths and we had to find the area and perimeter of this tapa cloth. On the tapa cloth it only shows the length and width of one rectangle and it is 20cm and 15 cm. Zaeeda gave us a clue by timing the square's at the top with the 20 cm because it's the width of the tapa cloth. I timed it and got 120cm, then I did the same to the length of the cloth and I got 105 cm. I then added it all together to get the perimeter and I got 450cm. Then I added the 120 and 105 for the area and got 12600cm squared. This task was good because I was that stuck on figuring out the area and perimeter.

    I'm really glad that this task helped you with area and perimeter! You've certainly got the hang of it here which is fantastic as we can start looking at the area of triangles next.
