1.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 cm. Using integers to represent the length and width, predict what the width and the length of the sides of the rectangle will give the largest possible area. Check by drawing different rectangles to see if your prediction is correct.

 P =2(w+l) P\ =2\left(w+l\right)\   
 A = l×wA\ =\ l\times w
