1. On the Cut-out Shapes pages, you will see 11 half-circles. Cut out all 11. Use all of the half-circles to make three figures. Each piece may be used only once. Two of the three figures you make will have this shape (not necessarily the same size):
[[{"fid":"327","view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"height":217,"width":280,"class":"media-element file-default"}}]]
and one will have this shape:
[[{"fid":"328","view_mode":"default","type":"media","attributes":{"height":227,"width":333,"class":"media-element file-default"}}]]
2. Compare your three figures. Predict which one has the greatest length around the outside. (You may know the word ‘perimeter’ for this length.) Once you have made your prediction, find a method to determine if you are correct. (Measuring the lengths is permitted.)
