Question

  1. true or false?

if you needed to find out how much paint you needed to
cover a wall, you would need
to find the perimeter.

(a) if your answer is true color
the bottom brown & the sky grey.
(b) if your answer is false color
the bottom green & the sky blue.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall definitions

Perimeter is the total length around a shape (sum of side lengths). Area is the amount of space inside a shape.

Step2: Analyze the problem

To find how much paint covers a wall, we need the area (since paint covers a 2D surface), not perimeter (which is about the edge length). So the statement is false.

Answer:

False (and follow the coloring instruction for False: color the bottom green & the sky blue)
