Imaginewalkingaroundtheedgeofabasketballcourtandcountingeachmetreas youpaceitout.Youwouldwalk15metres,28metres,15metres,then28metres again,asyouwalkedallfoursidesoftherectangle.

Theperimeterofthebasketballcourtisthesumoftheselengths.
Perimeter = 15 + 28 + 15 + 28 = 86metres
Amoreefficientwaytocalculatetheperimeterofarectangle,wouldbetodoublethe lengthsofthetwoadjacentsidesandaddthem.
Perimeter =(2 × 15)+(2 × 28) = 30 + 56 = 86metres

ThisisMax’sgarden. Calculatetheperimeterof Max’sgarden.
Solution
IfMaxwalksaroundtheedgeofhisgarden,hewalks:

Acutemeans‘sharp’.Anangleisacuteifitlooks‘sharp’.
Obtuseangles
An obtuseangle isonethatisbetween90° and180° .
Theword‘obtuse’means‘blunt’–itistheoppositeof‘sharp’.
Ananglelargerthan180° iscalleda reflexangle.Theword‘reflex’means‘turned back’or‘bentback’.
