PerimeterWhat is “it”?
Is the perimeter a measurement?
…or is “it” something we can measure?
Perimeter Is perimeter a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional thing?
Does this room have a perimeter?
What do we mean when we talk about “measurement”?
Measurement
How about this?
•Determine the attribute you want to measure•Find something else with the same attribute. Use it as the measuring unit.•Compare the two: multiplicatively.

ZDraw the following parallel and perpendicular lines:
X: Along the right side of the hypotenuse’s square
Y: Perpendicular to line “X” passing through the corner of the opposite square
Z: Perpendicular to line “Y” passing through the intersection of the square and line “Y”.

This means that:
𝑎2+𝑎𝑏+𝑎𝑏+𝑏2=2𝑎𝑏+𝑐2

Find the dimensions of the rectangle
Find the area of the rectangle
Find the dimensions of the rectangle
Find the area of the rectangle
Find a rectangle somewhere in the room similar to the shaded triangle
What do you mean when you say two figures are similar ?
Working with similar figures
“Similar means same shape different size.”
“All rectangles are the same shape. They are all rectangles!”
“Therefore all rectangles are similar.”
What is a scale factor?
