I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:

Measures of perimeter are commonly used everywhere. A farmer who wants to build
a fence around his orchard needs to know its perimeter. You, too, can make use of these
measures in your own home. In this lesson, you will learn how to find the perimeter of
objects.

Study how the perimeter of each figure is obtained.

15 cm

Let s be the length of one side of the equilateral triangle. If P is the perimeter of the triangle,
then
P= s + s + s
= 15cm + 15cm + 15cm
= 45cm

2.
10c 10cm

Let s be the length of one side of the square and P be the perimeter of the square. Then,
P = s + s + s + s
= 10cm + 10cm +10cm + 10cm
= 40cm

25cm

10cm

Let L be the length and W be the width of a rectangle. If P be the perimeter of the rectangle
then,
P = 2L + 2W
= (2x25) + (2x10)
= 50 + 20
= 70cm

II. LEARNING ACTIVITIES:

1. Visualizes the perimeter of any given plane figures in different situations

1. P=12cm
2. P= 6cm
3. P=12cm
4. P=14cm
IV.
5. Rubric for Scoring: (Not necessary)
P=12cm
Task 2:
V. Answer Key:
1. P= 45 + 70 + 60
P= 175cm
2. P= 15 + 15 + 15 + 15
P= 60cm
3. P= 2(20) + 2(5)
4. P= 40 + 10
P= 50cm
5. P= 10 + 4 + 10 + 8
P= 32cm
6. P= 2(9) + 2(6)
P= 18 + 12
P= 30cm
