SQUARE-ness revisited
a. Which rectangle is the "squarest"?
b. Devise a measure of "square-ness" that allows you
to arrange the rectangles in order of square-ness.
c. What is the difference in "square-ness" between the
most square and the least square of the rectangles?
d. Does your measure of "square-ness" have a smallest
value? a largest value? a "special" value when the
rectangle is a square?
e. Devise a different measure of "square-ness" and
discuss the circumstances in which each of your
measures would be the better measure.
