Lesson Solving Routine and Nonroutine

Problems in Real-Life Situation
1 Involving Perimeter of Squares,
Rectangles, Triangles, Parallelograms
and Trapezoids
Perimeter is the distance around a polygon. To find the perimeter
of a polygon get the sum of the lenght or measurements of its sides.

In this lesson you will learn to apply your knowledge and skills in
finding a perimeter of a polygon by solving routine and nonroutine
problems in real-life situation involving perimeter of squares,
rectangles, triangles, parallelograms and trapezoids.
