Reading a Ruler to _ Inch

MAIN IDEA
I will measure length
to the nearest eighth
inch.
SC Academic Standards
5-5.1 Use
appropriate tools and
units to measure
objects to the
precision of
one-eighth inch.
Sometimes it is necessary to
measure objects to a small
unit, such as an eighth of an
inch. A smaller unit of measure
will give a more precise
measurement. Some projects,
such as building a birdhouse,
will require precise
measurements.
Length is the measurement of distance between two points.
You can use a ruler like the one below to measure the length
of objects to the nearest quarter inch or eighth inch. Each of the
smallest marks on the ruler represents an eighth of an inch.

In Lesson 13-1, you learned that line segments are congruent if
they have the same length. Two- and three-dimensional shapes
can also be congruent. Congruent shapes have the same size
and shape. The hexagon shapes in the honeycomb above are
congruent shapes.

If two shapes are congruent and you know the measurements
of one shape, you can determine the measurements of the
other shape. This can help you to find the perimeter of a
given shape.
EXAMPLE
Perimeter of Congruent Shapes
2 DOORS The doors shown
below are congruent. What is
the perimeter of the first door?
Since the doors are congruent,
their perimeters are the same.
Find the perimeter of the second
door.
P = 2l + 2w
Perimeter of a rectangle
P = 2(7) + 2(3)
l = 7 and w = 3
P = 14 + 6
Multiply.
P = 20
Add.
So, the perimeter of the first door is 20 feet.
