a) Predict the values of the Lengths and Breadths of the rectangles at rest of the stages
b) Describe two patterns for the Length & Breadth of the rectangles in the table.
c) Generalise the rule for the length (L) and Breadth (B) of the rectangles in the table in terms
of (n).
d) Test your General Rule for the Length (L) of the rectangles.
e) Verify the General Rule for the Breadth of the Rectangle.

f) Investigate the values in the table to find the perimeter of each rectangle I terms of ‘n’.
In your answer, you should;

 Predict More Values in the Table

 Describe in words the pattern in the table for Perimeter of rectangle (P)
 Write down the general rule for P in terms of n
 Test your general rule for P
 Verify your general rule for P
 Justify the general rule for P.
