Question

A rectangle ABCD has a width of 3 inches and a length of 7 inches.
a) What is the Perimeter of the rectangle?
b) What is the Perimeter of the new rectangle if you double the width of rectangle ABCD? How did you find it? How many times bigger or smaller did the new Perimeter get? (You can divide the new Perimeter over the old one to find the times of increase/decrease)
c) What is the Perimeter of the new rectangle if you double the width and length of rectangle ABCD? How did you find it? How many times bigger or smaller did the new Perimeter get compared to the perimeter of rectangle ABCD?
d) Now choose a different shape of your liking and give it your own dimensions. Answer questions a), b), c) and d) for the shape you chose.
e) Can you generalize what happens to the Perimeter if you change one of the dimensions of a shape and what happens when you change both dimensions of the shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

a)What is the Perimeter of the rectangle?

ANS=2(l+b)

b) What is the Perimeter of the new rectangle if you double the width of rectangle ABCD? How did you find it? How many times bigger or smaller did the new Perimeter get? (You can divide the new Perimeter over the old one to find the times of increase/decrease)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:
