1 Numeracy Introduction to Measurement Te metric system originates back to te 700s in France. It is known as a decimal system because conversions between units are based on powers of ten. Tis is quite different to te Imperial system of units were every conversion as a unique value. A pysical quantity is an attribute or property of a substance tat can be expressed in a matematical equation. A quantity, for example te amount of mass of a substance, is made up of a value and a unit. If a person as a mass of 7kg: te quantity being measured is Mass, te value of te measurement is 7 and te unit of measure is kilograms (kg). Anoter quantity is lengt (distance), for example te lengt of a piece of timber is.5m: te quantity being measured is lengt, te value of te measurement is.5 and te unit of measure is metres(m). A unit of measurement refers to a particular pysical quantity. A metre describes lengt, a kilogram describes mass, a second describes time etc. A unit is defined and adopted by convention, in oter words, everyone agrees tat te unit will be a particular quantity. Historically, te metre was defined by te Frenc Academy of Sciences as te lengt between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar at 0 C, wic was designed to represent one ten-milliont of te distance from te Equator to te Nort Pole troug Paris. In 98, te metre was redefined as te distance travelled by ligt in free space in of a second Te kilogram was originally defined as te mass of litre (know as cubic decimetre at te time) of water at 0 C. Now it is equal to te mass of international prototype kilogram made from platinum-iridium and stored in an environmentally monitored safe located in te basement of te International Bureau of Weigts and Measures building in Sèvres on te outskirts of Paris. Te term SI is from le Système international d'unités, te International System of Units. Tere are 7 SI base quantities. It is te world's most widely used system of measurement, bot in everyday commerce and in science. Te system is nearly universally employed.

2 For oter quantities, units are defined from te SI base units. Examples are given below. SI derived units (selected examples) Quantity Name Symbol Area square metre m olume cubic metre m Speed metre per second m/ s Acceleration metre per second squared m / sec Some SI derived units ave special names wit SI base unit equivalents. SI derived units (selected examples) Quantity Name Symbol SI base unit equivalent Force Newton N m kg / sec Pressure Pascal Pa N / m Work, Energy Joule J Nm Power Watt W J / s Electric Carge Coulomb C As Electric Potential Difference olt W / Celsius (temperature) degree Celsius C K Frequency Hertz Hz /s Capacity litre L (or l) dm If units are named after a person, ten a capital letter is used for te first letter. Often, litres is written wit a capital (L) because a lowercase (l) looks like a one(). An important feature of te metric system is te use of prefixes to express larger and smaller values of a quantity. For example, a large number of grams can be expressed in kilograms, and a fraction of a gram could be expressed in milligrams. Commonly used prefixes are listed in te table below. Multiplication Factor Name Symbol Word form Standard form Power of 0 peta P Quadrillion tera T Trillion giga G Billion mega M Million kilo k Tousand ecto Hundred 00 0 deca da Ten 0 0 deci d Tent centi c Hundredt milli m Tousandt micro µ, mc Milliont nano n Billiont pico p Trilliont A Page

3 Te use of prefixes containing multiples of are te most commonly used prefixes. Using prefixes, conversions between units can be devised. For example: kg = 000g mg = 0.00g Mm = m On te left and side te prefix is used. On te rigt and side te prefix is replaced wit te multiplication factor. On te left and side te prefix is used. On te rigt and side te prefix is replaced wit te multiplication factor. To make te conversion friendlier to use, multiply bot sides by 000 (Wy 000? Because milli means one tousandt and one tousand tousandts make one wole), so 000mg = g. On te left and side te prefix is used. On te rigt and side te prefix is replaced wit te multiplication factor. µ m = m On te left and side te prefix is used. On te rigt and side te prefix is replaced wit te multiplication factor. To make te conversion friendlier to use, multiply bot sides by (Wy ? Because micro means one milliont), so µ m = m Page

5 Numeracy Topic : Measurement area You migt recall from te units section of tis module tat an area of square metre is a square wit side lengt of metre. Te purpose of tese rules is to provide a simple way of counting te number of square metres, square centimetres or square millimetres witin a sape. For example: 6 cm cm Te rectangle is split up into centimetre divisions. Te rectangle contains 6 x = 8 squares of area cm eac giving an area 8 cm. Tis can be generalised as A= l w Plane Sape Diagram Rule Triangle b b A = b Note: is te perpendicular eigt Square A= s s or s s w Rectangle A = lw l Parallelogram b A = b is te perpendicular eigt (at a rigt angle to te base). Trapezium b a A= ( a+ b ) is te perpendicular eigt or te separation between te parallel sides.

Example: Find te area of tis parallelogram. 5.5cm 0.cm Te area of a parallelogram is given te expression A = b Te value of b is 0.cm and is 5.5 cm A = b A = A = 56.cm Example: Find te area of tis circle. 9 m Te area of a circle is given te expression A= π r Te value of r is 9 m A= π r A = π 9 A = m ( to d. p.) Example: Find te area of tis trapezium. Te measurements given are in different units, so a conversion is necessary. Tis is a square trapezium so te separation between te parallel sides is equal to one of te sides. (Te 6 mm side) 6 mm.5 cm 5 cm Te area of a trapezium is given by te expression A= ( a+ b ) Te value of is 6 mm. Te lengts of te parallel sides are.5 cm and 5 cm, converted to mm are 5 mm and 50 mm. Page

7 Example: Find te area of tis composite sape. A= ( a+ b ) A = (5 + 50) 6 A = 680 mm or 6.8cm using te conversion 00mm = cm Te composite sape is a semicircle plus a rectangle. Te dimensions of te rectangle are 0 cm and 4 cm. Because te diameter is te same as te lengt of te rectangle, te radius is 4 cm = 7 cm. 4 cm 0 cm Total Area = π r + lw = π + = = 47.96cm Example: Find te radius of a circle tat as an area of 40m? r A= π r 40 = π r 40 π r = π π 40 = r π 40 = r π 40 = r π r.568 Example: If fertiliser is applied at a paddock at a rate of 500kg/a and te paddock is 00m long and 75m wide, wat is te amount of fertilizer to be bougt? Te area of te paddock is: A= l w A = A= 5500m Te area units must be in a, as tere are 0 000m in a, conversion to a is performed by dividing by 0 000, A = A = 5.5a Te rate 500kg/a means 500kg for a, so te amount required is 5.5a x 500kg/a = 65 kg or.65 t. ideo Area Page
