Year 8 Measurement Answers
A community garden is being planned in Aotearoa New Zealand. Solve each measurement challenge. Show your working and include units. Use π ≈ 3.14 where needed.
Plan the Garden
Convert units, calculate perimeter and area, and check that your results make sense.
1.A path on the garden plan is 2.4 km long. How many metres long is it?
2.A seedling is 18 cm tall. Which is the same height in millimetres?
- 1.8 mm
- 18 mm
- 180 mm
- 1800 mm
3.A rectangular raised bed measures 3.6 m by 1.5 m. Calculate its area in square metres.
4.The garden bed has sides of 3.6 m, 1.5 m, 3.6 m and 1.5 m. Find its perimeter.
Water and Materials
Use consistent units before calculating. Remember that 1000 mL = 1 L and 1 m³ = 1000 L.
5.Wiremu mixes 350 mL of liquid plant feed with 1.2 L of water. What is the total mixture volume in litres?
6.A compost bin is a rectangular prism measuring 0.8 m long, 0.5 m wide and 0.6 m high. Calculate its volume in cubic metres.
7.How many litres of compost would fill the bin from Question 6? Use 1 m³ = 1000 L.
8.A circular pond has a radius of 1.2 m. Use area = πr² and π ≈ 3.14 to find its area to 2 decimal places.
9.A roll of edging is 12 m long. The garden bed in Question 3 needs edging around all four sides. How much edging remains after the bed is surrounded?
10.Choose the most sensible unit for each measurement: the distance between two towns in New Zealand; the thickness of a leaf; and the capacity of a watering can.
11.A friend says the 3.6 m by 1.5 m garden bed has an area of 10.2 m². Explain the mistake and give the correct area.
