Maths warm up - Tapa cloth


This task is about working out dimensions and area of a tapa cloth.

Elisaia is measuring his tapa cloth.

Each small section is about 20cm by 15cm. 


20 x 6 = 120 cm

15 x 7 = 105 cm

120 x 105 = 12600 cm²


Area = 1.26 m ²

Perimeter = 45 cm

  1. Kia ora Nadia,

    Well done for solving this problem! I like how clearly you explained your thinking and solution. It was easy to follow what you did and how you solved it. Are you sure the area of the cloth is only 1.26 cm ²?
