Students apply perimeter and area to real-world word problems about fencing, tiling, and framing. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank problems including a 12 × 8 m yard fence, a 9 × 5 ft tile floor, and a 4-inch square picture frame. Part B is a matching activity pairing four real-world scenarios to their perimeter or area answers.
Contextual problems help students see that perimeter and area are practical tools used in building and home design.
