Essential Question
How Do You Find Perimeter?

Visual Learning Bridge
Gus wants to put up a fence to make a dog park. He made two different designs. What is the perimeter of each dog park design? Which design should Gus use?

One Way
You can find the perimeter by counting unit segments.

The perimeter is 34 feet.
34 > 30. Gus could use this design.

Another Way
Add the lengths of the sides to find the perimeter.

3 + 9 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 28
The perimeter is 28 feet.
28 < 30. Gus could not use this design.
