The problem:
Miss Mulvahill would like to build a fence around her yard for her puppy. Last week she measured the yard and it turned out to be a perfect square! However, Miss Mulvahill's puppy chewed up the paper she wrote her measurements on. All she has now is the measurement of one side. It was 10 feet long. What are the measurements of the other sides of the yard? What is the perimeter of the yard?
Good luck solving the problem 3rd graders! If you would like more practice with perimeters, copy and paste the link below. It is a perimeter math game!

My answer is 40 feet and each side is 10 feet each. Sarah.J
ReplyDeleteIf it is a sqare then all sids are the same so if is 10 feet, the other sides are each 10 feet. The perimeter is 40 feet.
ReplyDeleteThe answear is 40 feet becuase each side is 10 feet

If it is a square, then each side is equal lengths. So if one side is 10 feet, then each of the other sides are 10 feet. The perimeter is the toal of all the sides so it is 40 feet.
