standard_description: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).

Find the area of the equilateral triangle whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
Find the area of the square whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
Find the area of the regular hexagon whose perimeter is one unit.
Find the area of the circle whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
List the answers to (a), (b), (c) and (d) in increasing size.  How do you think the area of a regular octagon with perimeter $1$ unit would compare to the
triangle, square, hexagon, and circle?
