Lesson: Areas of Rectangles with the Same Perimeter

Mathematics

In this lesson, we will learn how to draw rectangles with the same perimeter, count unit squares to find their area, and compare the areas of rectangles with the same perimeter.

Worksheet: 3 Questions

Q1:

How many squares can be drawn in the given grid, such that the vertices of each square coincide with four of the dots and that each square’s area equals 4 cm²?

Q2:

I want to draw a square with area 1 cm² on this grid and each corner of the square must be at one of the dots. How many squares like this can I draw?

Q3:

How many squares can be drawn in the given grid, such that the vertices of each square coincide with four of the dots and that each square’s area equals 2 cm²?
