Module 3: Linear Measure

Lesson 3 Summary

You have likely heard the saying “Measure twice and cut once.” If you have applied your carpentry skills to build a project, you know how accurate that advice is. Carpenters routinely use the skills you explored in this lesson to make accurate cuts and avoid waste.

In this lesson you explored this question:

• How can you determine the midpoint of a linear measurement such as length, width, height, depth, diagonal, and diameter of a three-dimensional object?

You explored how to locate midpoints of discs and rectangles. You also applied fractions to determine a measure when dividing a length in half.
