Extension Measurement Practice #3

1. Calculate the area and perimeter of the shape.

9 cm

12 cm
Area = …………………………………………………

Perimeter = …………………………………………………

2. Calculate the area and perimeter of the star, including limits of accuracy.
(each outer side is equal length, with the same angle)

8.0 cm 8.1 cm

2.5 cm Area = …………………………………………………

Perimeter = …………………………………………………

3. Measure the shape below and calculate its area.


Include limits of accuracy in your answer.

Area = …………………………………………………

4. How much does a semicircular concrete arch weigh if:

ƒ it is 120 cm across at the widest point.


ƒ the inside gap has a diameter of 60 cm.
ƒ it is 30 cm deep (thick).
ƒ concrete weighs 2.4 tonnes per m3.
Answers: Extension Measurement Practice #3

Area Perimeter

1. 2 triangles 2 bases + 2 diagonals (via Pythagoras)

2×½×b×h 2 × 9 + 2 × √9 12

2 × ½ × 9 × 6 = 54 cm2 2 × 9 + 2 × 15 = 48 cm

2. square + 4 triangles 8 sides

b × h + 4 × (½ × b × h) 8 × 8.1

2.5 × 2.5 + 4 × (½ × 2.5 × 8)

= 46.25 cm2 = 64.8 cm

2.55 × 2.55 + 4 × (½ × 2.55 × 8.05) 8 × 8.15

= 47.56 cm2 = 65.2 cm

2.45 × 2.45 + 4 × (½ × 2.45 × 7.95) 8 × 8.05

= 44.96 cm2 = 64.4 cm

44.96 < area < 47.56 cm2 64.4 < perimeter < 65.2 cm

3. Trapezium = 34 mm base, 55 mm top, 26 mm height.

Triangle = 55 mm base, 16mm height

Trapezium = 34 55 × 26 = 1,157 mm2 (= 11.57 cm2)


2
Triangle = ½ × 55 × 16 = 440 mm2 (= 4.4 cm2)

Area = 1.157 + 440 = 1597 mm2 (= 15.97 cm2)

Max = 34.5 55.5 × 26.5 + ½ × 55.5 × 16.5 = 1650


2
Max = 33.5 54.5 × 25.5 + ½ × 54.5 × 15.5 = 1544
2
1544 < area < 1650 mm2

(There are other ways to sensibly divide the pentagon e.g. three triangles )

4. Diameter = 120 cm, so outer radius = 0.6 m. Inner diameter = 60 cm, so radius = 0.3 m.

base area = ½ × (outer circle – inner circle) =½ × (π × 0.62 – π × 0.32) = 0.4241 m2

volume = area × depth = 0.4241 × 0.3 = 0.1272m3 volume

If each m3 is 2.4 t, then weight = 0.1272 × 2.4 = 0.305 tonnes (= 305 kg)
