Homework 9B Finding Perimeter and Area Fixed Perimeters Using the 1/2cm perimeter of 30 Record the area Draw

raw at least 2 perimeter of 30 Record the area grid paper, draw a simple shape with a cm. of your shape. more (different) shapes with a cm. of each shape.

Answer these questions about fixed perimeters? 1. Were all the areas all the same? 2. How does the area change as the rectangles dimensions change (with a fixed perimeter?) Fixed Areas Draw at least 3 simple shapes with an area of 12 cm2. Record the perimeter of each shape. Answer these questions about fixed area? 3. Were all the perimeters the same? 4. What is the relationship between area and perimeter when the area is fixed? Answer the following questions about this exercise: 5. How are the units used to measure perimeter different from the units used to measure area? 6. Which of these two types of drawings did you find most difficult to do? Why? 7. How would students benefit from this exercise?
