WORKSHEET: MEASUREMENTS 2- SOLUTION EXERCISE 8


8) Ron is decorating the park for a party. The park is rectangular shape of 39ft 3in by 37ft 9in. Find the length (in metres) of the string he needs to border the park.


39 ft = 39 x 30 = 1170 cm
3 in = 3 x 2.5 = 7.5 cm
1177.5 x 2 = 2355 cm = 23.55 m
37 ft = 37 x 30 = 1110 cm
9 in = 9 x 2.5 = 22.5
1132.5 x 2 = 2265 cm = 22.65 m
23.55 + 22.65 = 46.2
Ron needs 46.2 m of string
