Copy of Area and Perimeter of Rectangles
Develop an understanding of the area and perimeter of rectangles.
Area of Rectangle
What is the area of the rectangle that has the length of 7 inches and a width of 12 inches?
Area of a Rectangle
Why do we square the units and how do you know we do?
Perimeter of a Rectangle
Why do we add the lengths instead of multiplying?
Why can't we count the squares around the shape to find perimeter? For example: A rectangle has a base of 6 and a height of 8. Why can the perimeter not be 24?
What shape has the largest area? Why is that shape the largest? Give an example using the applet? Give the dimensions used.
