The device used to measure the perimeter of a playground is a measuring tape.
Procedure to measure the perimeter of play ground:
Select a Starting Point:
Choose one corner of the playground as your starting point.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.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.Note the Length:
When you reach the end of the side, record the measured length in your notebook.Mark the Endpoint:
Use chalk, a stone, or a stick to mark the spot where the tape ends.Continue Measuring:
From the marked point, measure the next side in the same way.Repeat for All Sides:
Continue this process until you have measured all sides of the playground.Verify Alignment:
At each corner, ensure the tape aligns properly so that no extra length or gap is included.Record All Measurements:
Write down the lengths of all sides clearly.Calculate the Perimeter:
Add together the lengths of all the sides to get the total perimeter of the playground.
