Understanding various measurement concepts is crucial in geometry and other mathematical applications. The Pythagorean Theorem helps to find the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle using the formula a² + b² = c².
4) hoW? How will you measure? (Repeating a unit with no gaps or overlaps). See how many units instead of seeing where you stop measuring.
3) WHAT? What tool will you use?
2) WHERE? Our why helps us determine the where. Where are you measuring? Area, perimeter, volume, etc.
1) WHY? Why do we measure?
Surface Area Of All Shapes
Song To Help Remember Formulas
Formulas
Volume
When measuring rectangular prisms or cubes you take the length x width x height
Helpful website that shows all formulas!!
Labeling Units
Surface Area: same as area. Answer must be in units squared
Volume: Since you are finding the inside of a 3D object your answer must be cubed
Area: Your answer must be in units squared
Perimeter: labeled with the units in which you are measuing in. Example: meters, inches, centimeters
Slant Height vs. Perpendicular Height
Perpendicular height
Slant height
The Pythagorean Theorum
What is the hypotenuse?
The longests side of a right-angled triangle
a2+b2=c2
Basic Definition:
Perimeter
What is perimeter?
Measuring Perimeter: If you have an object and there are given lenghths around all sides than you can simply add up all number to find the total lengh around the ouside of the object.
Perimeter is the distance or length around any shape or object
