Review worksheet 2: geometry and measurement units

Published · by

Open PDF The PDF is in Romanian.

Summary

The second worksheet moves to geometry: correctly measured segments and angles, perimeters and areas of plane figures, plus the volumes of the studied solids. Measurement units tie it all together: correct conversions between multiples and submultiples decide the result. Draw each problem before computing, with instruments on paper.

    a) Construct a segment $AB$ of length $6\text{ cm}$ and mark its midpoint, $M$. Write the length of segment $MB$.

    b) Construct angle $MAC$ measuring $50{^\circ}$ and state the type of this angle.

  2. A rectangle is $1,2\text{ dm}$ long, and its width is $4\text{ cm}$ less than its length.

    a) Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle, in centimetres.

    b) Calculate the area of the rectangle, in square centimetres and in square decimetres.

    a) Calculate the measure of angle $COB$.

    b) State whether angles $AOC$ and $COB$ are congruent. Justify your answer.

  4. The floor of a room is a rectangle $5\text{ m}$ long and $4,2\text{ m}$ wide.

    a) Calculate the area of the floor.

    b) One box of parquet flooring covers $2,5\text{ m}^{2}$. Find the minimum number of boxes needed to cover the whole floor.

Frequently asked questions

How do you avoid mistakes in unit conversions?

By writing the unit ladder and counting the steps at each conversion, instead of jumping to the result. Length steps go by $10$, area steps by $100$ and volume steps by $1000$. The most frequent mistake is using the length ladder for areas and volumes.

Perimeter, area or volume: how do you pick the right formula?

By what is asked: the perimeter adds contour lengths, the area measures the surface inside, and the volume measures the space a solid takes. Read the question to the end and underline the keyword before writing any formula. A sketch labelled with the problem data makes the choice nearly automatic.
