Dear Middle S
ReplyDeleteI am looking at getting new floor covering in my lounge room. I want to roughly know how much it is going to cost me. I need to measure the area of the room, so I can work out how much it is going to cost. All floor coverings are priced per metre sq.

Hi Middle S. Madeline's dad, Ross has to measure things every day. He is a tiler and needs to know what the area he is going to tile measures in total and then also what size he needs to cut each tile to. He also needs to know the area measurement so that he knows how many tiles each room will need to complete the job. Suzi
ReplyDeleteFor Jasmine's question, you could do Ms Scott's Computer? The Netbook Holder?.
ReplyDeleteHey Middle S,
ReplyDeleteMaths is fun especially measuring! I measure a circle two different ways, 1 way is a bit complicated.
1. use string and put it around the outside and cut it so it exactly fits the circle, then measure the string.
Or...
2. to find out the measurement of a CIRCUMFRENCE (perimeter of circle) measure the width of the inside of the circle (diameter) and half of width is (radius) then times the full length by pi= 3.41 that's you answer!
Have fun measuring Middle S!
