GENERAL PHYSICS 1
QUARTER 1-ACTIVITY NO. 1
MEASURING THE DIMENSIONS OF REGULAR GEOMETRIC SHAPES

Objectives:
• To measure the dimensions of regular geometric shapes to compare their accuracy and precision.

Materials:
Ruler
Short coupon bond
Matchbox

Procedures:
1. Using a ruler, measure the length and width of a short coupon bond.
2. Next, measure the dimensions of the rectangular solid (matchbox).
3. Record the measurements on the table.
