GO Math 11.9: Same Perimeter, Different Areas

Front

What is the definition of perimeter?

Back

Perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape, calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides.

Front

What is the definition of area?

Back

Area is the amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape, measured in square units.

Front

How can two rectangles have the same perimeter but different areas?

Back

Two rectangles can have the same perimeter if their side lengths are adjusted accordingly, but their areas can differ based on the specific dimensions of the sides.

What is an example of two rectangles with the same perimeter but different areas?

Back

Rectangle 1: 6 units by 4 units (Area = 24 sq. units), Rectangle 2: 5 units by 5 units (Area = 25 sq. units). Both have a perimeter of 20 units.

Front

What happens to the area of a rectangle if you increase one side while keeping the perimeter constant?

Back

If you increase one side while keeping the perimeter constant, the area may increase or decrease depending on the change in the other side.

Front

What is the relationship between the dimensions of a rectangle and its area?

Back

The area of a rectangle is directly related to its dimensions; increasing either the length or width increases the area.
