Function of the Day:
The area of a square closet is \( 9 , \text{ft}^2 \). What is the perimeter of the closet?
To find the perimeter of the closet, we first need to find the length of one side of the square.
-
Area of a square formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{side}^2 \]
-
Given that the area is \( 9 , \text{ft}^2 \): \[ \text{side}^2 = 9 \] \[ \text{side} = \sqrt{9} = 3 , \text{ft} \]
-
Perimeter of a square formula: \[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side} \] \[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times 3 , \text{ft} = 12 , \text{ft} \]
Thus, the perimeter of the closet is 12 ft.
What do you know?
- Area is \( \text{length} \times \text{width} \).
- A square has equal sides.
- The perimeter is the total distance around a shape.
- The square root of a number gives the side length when the area is given.
- The area of the square closet is \( 9 , \text{ft}^2 \).
- The side length of the square closet is \( 3 , \text{ft} \).
- The formula for perimeter of a square is \( 4 \times \text{side} \).
- Pi (\(\pi\)) is approximately \( 3.14 \).
- A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the square of an integer.
- A perfect cube is a number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer.
Vocabulary Terms - Define/Illustrate
-
Perfect Square: A number that is the square of an integer (e.g., \( 1, 4, 9, 16 \)).
- Illustration: \( 3^2 = 9 \)
-
Perfect Cube: A number that is the cube of an integer (e.g., \( 1, 8, 27, 64 \)).
- Illustration: \( 2^3 = 8 \)
-
Meaning of Pi (\(\pi\)): The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately equal to \( 3.14 \).

Perfect Squares on a Number Line:
- Perfect squares below 100: \( 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100 \)
- Number line would look like this with perfect squares placed appropriately.
-
Place the following letters on their approximate place on the number line:
- \( 62, 84, 23, 34, 54, 12, 77, 45 \)
- Diagram with placements would be based accordingly.
-
Statement comparing 4 and 8:
- \( 4 < 8 \) - On the number line, 4 is to the left of 8 which indicates that 4 is less than 8.
-
Between which two perfect squares does 51 fall?
- The perfect squares \( 49 (7^2) \) and \( 64 (8^2) \) show that \( 49 < 51 < 64 \).
-
Difference between a perfect square and a perfect cube:
- Perfect squares are numbers like \( 4, 9, 16 \) (squares of integers).
- Perfect cubes are numbers like \( 8, 27, 64 \) (cubes of integers).
