Application: Modeling Perimeter and Borders
Application: Modeling Perimeter and Borders is a Grade 7 math skill from enVision, Mathematics, Grade 7, covering Generate Equivalent Expressions. The total measure (e.g., area or number of units) of a border or frame is the sum of its non-overlapping parts. For a 1-unit wide border around a square of side length , the number of unit squares in the border can be modeled by summing the four sides () and the four corner squares (), resulting in the expression . Explanation This skill shows how to write an algebraic expression for a composite geometric figure, like a border around a garden or a frame around a picture.
Key Concepts
The total measure (e.g., area or number of units) of a border or frame is the sum of its non overlapping parts. For a 1 unit wide border around a square of side length $s$, the number of unit squares in the border can be modeled by summing the four sides ($4s$) and the four corner squares ($4$), resulting in the expression $4s + 4$.
