standard_description: Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Create as many rectangles as you can with a perimeter of 16 units. Find the area of each rectangle that you found. Then record the length, width, perimeter, and area of each rectangle in the table below:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:90%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Length (units)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Width (units)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Perimeter (units)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Area (square units)"}]}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
b.   What do you notice about the rectangles you created? What do you wonder?
Problem 2
What is the greatest area you can make with a rectangle that has a perimeter of 20 units?


aligns: yes
