Arithmetic Grade Five

Lesson One hundred and forty-two: Perimeter


Here's another triangle for you to take a look at.

As you can see it has three sides which are 7, 11, and 10 units long. To find the total distance around this object you simply add up the length of each side.


   PERIMETER = 11 + 10 + 7 = 28 units
