Question 15

Maximizing Area With A Fixed Perimeter:

When working with 4 sided shapes, what shape will always give you the largest perimeter?

Answer 15

A square

Question 16

Maximizing Area With a Fixed Perimeter:

When working with a 3 sided shape, what dimesions give the largest shape possible?

Answer 16

Using 2 sides af if the shape were a square and the third side as double that dimesion.

Example: P= 20cm

Side 1: 5cm

Side 2: 5cm

Side 3: 10cm

Question 17

Maximizing Area With a Fixed Perimeter:

The sides of the rectangle have to be whole numbers. if this isnt possible what do you do?

Answer 17

The minimum perimeter occurs when the length and width are closest in value.

Example: A= Squrare Root Of 144

Length: 12

Height: 6
