Question
Answer
A rectangle has a perimeter of 14. Determine the dimensions of ALL of the possible rectangles.   1x6 4x3 2x5 5x2 3x4 6x1  
🗑
If the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to 50, then the L plus the width is equal to . . . ?   L + W + L + W = 50 so, L + W = 25 (half of the perimeter)  
🗑
L + W = 45. Solve the equation for L, in terms of W.   L = 45 - W  
🗑
L + W = 250. Solve the equation for W, in terms of L.   W = 250 - L  
🗑
If the area of rectangles with a fixed perimeter is A = L(26 - L), determine the fixed perimeter.   52, the fixed perimeter is double the constant in the formula.  
🗑
If the area of rectangles with a fixed perimeter is A = L(78 - L) and the length is 40, determine the width.   In the equation, A = L(78 - L), the quantity (78-L) represents the width so plug in 40 to get 78 - 40 = 38 as the width.  
🗑
If the area of rectangles with a fixed perimeter is A = L(100 - L) and the length is 60, determine the area.   A = 60(100 - 60) A = 60(40) A = 2400  
🗑
A rectangle has a fixed perimeter of 8, determine the rectangle with the maximum area.   1x3 = 3 2x2 = 4 3x1 = 3 , so 2x2 has maximum area  
🗑
If a rectangle has a fixed perimeter, the rectangle with the maximum area is always a _____________________ .   Square, L = W  
🗑
A rectangle has a perimeter of 32. Determine the dimensions of ALL of the possible rectangles.   1x15, 2x14, 3x13, 4x12, 5x11, 6x10, 7x9, 8x8 plus all of the rectangles in reverse.  
🗑
The following is a list of dimensions of rectangles with a fixed area. Which one represents the rectangle with the maximum area? Explain. 1x15, 2x14, 3x13, 4x12, 5x11, 6x10, 7x9, 8x8   8x8, because it is a square plus it's area is 64 which is the largest number.  
🗑
Given a graph comparing length and area of rectangles with a fixed perimeter, how can you determine the maximum area?   By looking at the highest point on the graph.  
🗑
L + W = 68. Solve the equation for L, in terms of W.   L = 68 - W  
🗑
L + W = 190. Solve the equation for W, in terms of L.   W = 190 - L  
🗑
Rectangles with a fixed perimeter of 80 have a length of L and a width of 40 - L. Write an equation for Area using only A and L as the variables.   A = L(W) A = L(40 - L), must have parenthesis for full credit  
🗑
The table displays rectangles with a fixed perimeter. Length 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Area 0 7 12 15 16 15 12 7 0 Determine the fixed perimeter.   16, Double the length that corresponds to an area of zero. Or determine the width and find the perimeter, ex: L=1 A=7 so W=7, so perimeter is 1 + 7 + 1 + 7.  
🗑
The table displays rectangles with a fixed perimeter. Length 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Area 0 7 12 15 16 15 12 7 0 Determine the maximum area and the dimensions of that rectangle with the maximum area.   16 and 4x4, the rectangle with the maximum area is always a square.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
