Answer

The device used to measure the perimeter of a playground is a measuring tape.

Procedure to measure the perimeter of play ground:

  1. Select a Starting Point:
    Choose one corner of the playground as your starting point.

  2. Secure the Tape:
    Place the end of the measuring tape at this point. You can secure it with a peg, weight, or ask a helper to hold it firmly.

  3. Measure the First Side:
    Stretch the tape tightly along the first side of the boundary, making sure it is straight and does not sag or twist.

  4. Note the Length:
    When you reach the end of the side, record the measured length in your notebook.

  5. Mark the Endpoint:
    Use chalk, a stone, or a stick to mark the spot where the tape ends.

  6. Continue Measuring:
    From the marked point, measure the next side in the same way.

  7. Repeat for All Sides:
    Continue this process until you have measured all sides of the playground.

  8. Verify Alignment:
    At each corner, ensure the tape aligns properly so that no extra length or gap is included.

  9. Record All Measurements:
    Write down the lengths of all sides clearly.

  10. Calculate the Perimeter:
    Add together the lengths of all the sides to get the total perimeter of the playground.
