VC2M8M01
solve problems involving the area and perimeter of irregular and composite shapes using appropriate units
Elaborations
-
determining the area of composite shapes by composing or decomposing shapes
-
using arrays and rectangles to approximate the area of irregular shapes in situations such as a council needing to work out how much mosquito spray to use for a swamp area or a farmer needing to work out how much seed, fertiliser and herbicide are required to cover a paddock
-
determining the perimeter and area of irregular shapes by sums of increasingly accurate covering measurements, such as line segments and grids; for example, using millimetres or square millimetres as opposed to centimetres or square centimetres
