Lesson Summary

There are restrictions on parcels that can be sent through the mail or by courier. One of these restrictions is based on the linear dimensions of the package. The maximum size for one company is based on the formula, size = length + 2 × width + 2 × height. Determining whether your shipment is below the maximum allowable size is just one example of linear problems you will encounter in everyday situations.
In this lesson you explored these questions:
- How do you solve perimeter, circumference, and size problems based on linear dimensions?
- How can you determine if your answers to linear measurement problems are reasonable?
Check your level of understanding of the materials covered in this lesson by completing “Lesson 4 Traffic Lights.”
If you select an amber or red traffic light in the multimedia piece, you will receive information about additional work you can complete to improve your understanding of the topics. Complete the suggested work before you proceed to the Lesson 4 Assignment. If you experience difficulty, contact your teacher before starting the Lesson 4 Assignment.
In addition to problem situations involving parcel or baggage size, you explored problems involving perimeter and circumference. These problems involved both SI and imperial units.
