Essential Question How Can You Convert Units of Session Measurement to Solve a Problem?

A.
A city pool is in the shape of a rectangle with the dimensions shown. What is the perimeter of the pool?

You can convert one of the measures so that you are adding like units.

B.
What do you know?
The dimensions of the pool:
l = 25 yards
w = 60 feet
What are you asked to find?
The perimeter of the pool

You can use feet for perimeter.

C.
Convert 25 yards to feet so you can add like units.
1 yard = 3 feet
To change from larger units to smaller units, multiply.
25 × 3 feet = 75 feet
So, 25 yards = 75 feet.

D.
Substitute like measurements into the perimeter formula.
Perimeter = (2 × length) + (2 × width)
P = (2 × l) + (2 × w)
P = (2 × 75) + (2 × 60)
P = 150 + 120
P = 270 feet
The perimeter of the pool is 270 feet.

Convince Me! Be Precise If the width of the pool is increased by 3 feet, what would be the new perimeter of the pool? Explain.

length = 75 feet

width = 63 feet

Perimeter = 2 ( l+b)

2 (75+63)

2 ( 138 )

= 276 feet.
