Question

Use the grid to draw a rectangle that has the same perimeter but a different area than the rectangle in Part A. Write the perimeter and area of your new rectangle. Perimeter: units Area: square units

Answer 1

The given rectangle in Part A has a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 24 square units.

We need to create a new rectangle with the same perimeter as 20 units.

Let's say a 7 by 3 rectangle.

The perimeter is :

P = 2(3 + 7)

P = 2(10)

P = 20 units

The area is :

A = 3 x 7

A = 21 square units
