Doghouse Design Measurements

Zach and Harper are designing a small doghouse in their robotics club workshop. Use the plans and measurement clues to help them choose sensible sizes. Show your working where needed.

Read the design notes

The team sketches a rectangular doghouse base. It will be 90 cm long and 60 cm wide. The front wall is 60 cm high. Its doorway is 30 cm wide. A measuring tape is marked in centimetres.

1.Which unit is best for recording the length of one side of this doghouse base?
  • centimetres (cm)
  • kilometres (km)
  • litres (L)
2.How many centimetres are in 1 metre? Use that fact to complete: 2 metres = centimetres.
3.Calculate the perimeter of the rectangular base. Add all four side lengths: 90 + 60 + 90 + 60.
4.The club has 250 cm of edging for the base. After edging the whole base, how much is left?

Check the measurements

Look at the measuring tape scale. Each numbered mark is 10 cm apart.

5.The tape starts at 0 cm and ends at 70 cm. What length has been measured?
010203040506070
6.The doorway is 30 cm wide and the front wall is 90 cm wide. If the doorway is centred, how much wall is on each side of it?
7.Choose the tool that is most useful for measuring the long side of the doghouse base accurately.
  • Measuring tape
  • Kitchen scales
  • Thermometer

Make a sensible plan

The club wants to cut four wall supports, each 60 cm long. They have a 3-metre timber strip.

8.Convert 3 metres to centimetres, then calculate the total length of the four supports. Is the strip long enough?
9.How much timber will be left after cutting the four supports from the 3-metre strip?
10.A square corner of the doghouse floor is a right angle. How many degrees are in a right angle?
  • 45°
  • 90°
  • 180°
11.Sketch a simple rectangle for the doghouse base. Label its length 90 cm and width 60 cm. Add a small right-angle mark to one corner.
