- Think about the size of one kilometer compared with a classroom. - Decide which metric unit is reasonable for a room. - A walk around a rectangle follows how many sides?

1. The measurements are not reasonable. A classroom is not several kilometers long or wide; meters would be an appropriate unit. 2. The perimeter calculation is also incorrect. Using the stated measurements, the perimeter would be \(8 + 10 + 8 + 10 = 36\,\text{km}\), not \(18\,\text{km}\). The value \(18\) comes from adding only two sides.

- Half the perimeter equals one length plus one width. - Check whether each unit measures length. - Convert millimeters to centimeters before comparing.

1. One length plus one width must equal half the perimeter, or \(15\,\text{cm}\). A proposed length of \(22\,\text{cm}\) is already greater than \(15\,\text{cm}\), so it cannot work. 2. Square centimeters measure area, not length, so \(14\,\text{cm}^2\) cannot be a side length. 3. Since \(40\,\text{mm}=4\,\text{cm}\), the proposed length plus the width would be only \(4+8=12\,\text{cm}\), not the required \(15\,\text{cm}\).

1) It is greater than half the perimeter. 2) It uses an area unit instead of a length unit. 3) \(40\,\text{mm}=4\,\text{cm}\), which is too short.

- Divide the perimeter by the number of equal sides. - Check whether each unit measures length or area. - Convert all proposed lengths to centimeters.

1. A square has four equal sides, so the side length is \(200\div 4=50\,\text{cm}\). Choice 1 is correct. 2. Square centimeters measure area, not length. Choice 2 is incorrect. 3. Since \(2\,\text{m}=200\,\text{cm}\), this proposed side equals the entire perimeter. Choice 3 is incorrect. 4. Since \(500\,\text{mm}=50\,\text{cm}\), choice 4 is correct.

Choices 2 and 3 are incorrect. Choice 2 uses an area unit, and choice 3 equals the entire perimeter rather than one-fourth of it.

- Half the perimeter equals one length plus one width. - Subtract the known length from half the perimeter. - For part b, consider only the two equal width sides.

1. Half the perimeter is one length plus one width: \(22\div 2=11\,\text{ft}\). 2. The width is \(11-6=5\,\text{ft}\). 3. If the width were \(16\,\text{ft}\), the two width sides alone would total \(32\,\text{ft}\), which is already greater than the entire \(22\,\text{ft}\) perimeter.

a) \(5\,\text{ft}\) b) Two \(16\)-foot widths would already total \(32\,\text{ft}\), more than the entire perimeter.

- Divide the area by the known side length. - Once both side lengths are known, add all four sides. - Length units and area units are different.

1. The missing side length is \(72\div 9=8\,\text{cm}\). 2. The perimeter is \(2\times(9+8)=34\,\text{cm}\).

The missing side is \(8\,\text{cm}\), and the perimeter is \(34\,\text{cm}\).

- Divide the area by the known side length to find each missing side. - Find each perimeter separately. - Subtract the smaller perimeter from the larger one.

1. Rug A has width \(12\div 4=3\,\text{ft}\), so its perimeter is \(2\times(4+3)=14\,\text{ft}\). 2. Rug B has width \(12\div 6=2\,\text{ft}\), so its perimeter is \(2\times(6+2)=16\,\text{ft}\). 3. Rug B has the greater perimeter, and the difference is \(16-14=2\,\text{ft}\).

The habitat strip is \(2\,\text{ft}\) wide on both ends of each dimension, so the inner side length is \(50-2-2=46\,\text{ft}\). 3. The remaining meadow area is \(46\times 46=2116\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. The habitat area is \(2500-2116=384\,\text{ft}^2\). 5. Convert the loss rate to cents: \(\$0.20=20\) cents. Then \(384\times 20=7680\) cents, which is \(\$76.80\).

a) \(50\,\text{ft}\) b) \(2116\,\text{ft}^2\) c) \(\$76.80\)

- Find the total rectangular area. Use the trailing zeros to simplify the multiplication. - Subtract the border width from both sides of each dimension. - Find the inner area, then subtract it from the total area.

1. Use place value to find the total area: \(220\times 90=(22\times 9)\times 100=19{,}800\,\text{ft}^2\). 2. The inner dimensions are \(220-10=210\,\text{ft}\) and \(90-10=80\,\text{ft}\). 3. Use place value again: \(210\times 80=(21\times 8)\times 100=16{,}800\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. Subtract the inner area from the total area. The difference between \(19{,}800\,\text{ft}^2\) and \(16{,}800\,\text{ft}^2\) is \(3000\,\text{ft}^2\).

a) \(19{,}800\,\text{ft}^2\) b) \(3000\,\text{ft}^2\)

- Use multiplication to find the missing width of Field B. - Subtract the border width twice from each dimension. - Find each border area by subtracting the inner area from the total area. - Break apart a large product using a nearby multiple of \(10\) when useful.

1. Since \(250\times 40=10{,}000\), Field B's width is \(40\,\text{ft}\). 2. Field A is \(100\,\text{ft}\) by \(100\,\text{ft}\). Its inner dimensions are \(98\,\text{ft}\) by \(98\,\text{ft}\), and \(98\times 98=9604\,\text{ft}^2\). The difference between the total area of \(10{,}000\,\text{ft}^2\) and the inner area of \(9604\,\text{ft}^2\) is \(396\,\text{ft}^2\). 3. Field B's inner dimensions are \(248\,\text{ft}\) by \(38\,\text{ft}\). Use the distributive property: \(248\times 38=248\times 40-248\times 2=9920-496=9424\,\text{ft}^2\). The difference between the total area of \(10{,}000\,\text{ft}^2\) and the inner area of \(9424\,\text{ft}^2\) is \(576\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. Field B loses more usable area.

a) \(40\,\text{ft}\) b) Field A: \(396\,\text{ft}^2\); Field B: \(576\,\text{ft}^2\). Field B loses more usable area.

- Add the path width on both sides of each patio dimension. - Subtract the patio area from the outer area. - Multiply the path area by the cost per square foot.

1. The outer dimensions are \(8+2+2=12\,\text{ft}\) and \(5+2+2=9\,\text{ft}\). 2. The outer area is \(12\times 9=108\,\text{ft}^2\). 3. The patio area is \(8\times 5=40\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. The path area is \(108-40=68\,\text{ft}^2\). 5. The total cost is \(68\times\$15=\$1020\).

The pavers cost \(\$1020\).

- Add the deck width on both sides of each pool dimension. - Subtract the pool area from the outer area. - Multiply the deck area by the weight per square foot. - Compare the result with the truck's capacity.

1. The outer dimensions are \(10+1.5+1.5=13\,\text{ft}\) and \(5+1.5+1.5=8\,\text{ft}\). 2. The outer area is \(13\times 8=104\,\text{ft}^2\). 3. The pool area is \(10\times 5=50\,\text{ft}^2\), so the deck area is \(104-50=54\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. The tile weight is \(54\times 25=1350\,\text{lb}\). 5. Since \(1350\,\text{lb}>1000\,\text{lb}\), the truck cannot carry all the tiles in one trip.

The tiles weigh \(1350\,\text{lb}\). No, the truck cannot carry them all in one trip.

- List every whole-number factor pair of \(24\). - Find the perimeter for each rectangle. - Compare the results systematically.

1. The whole-number factor pairs of \(24\) are \(1\times 24\), \(2\times 12\), \(3\times 8\), and \(4\times 6\). 2. Their perimeters are \(2\times(1+24)=50\,\text{ft}\), \(2\times(2+12)=28\,\text{ft}\), \(2\times(3+8)=22\,\text{ft}\), and \(2\times(4+6)=20\,\text{ft}\). 3. The \(4\,\text{ft}\) by \(6\,\text{ft}\) patio has the least perimeter.

a) \(1\,\text{ft}\times 24\,\text{ft}\), \(2\,\text{ft}\times 12\,\text{ft}\), \(3\,\text{ft}\times 8\,\text{ft}\), and \(4\,\text{ft}\times 6\,\text{ft}\) b) \(50\,\text{ft}\), \(28\,\text{ft}\), \(22\,\text{ft}\), and \(20\,\text{ft}\), respectively c) \(4\,\text{ft}\) by \(6\,\text{ft}\)

- Find the total deck area first. - Divide by the area needed for one car. - Convert the motorcycle space from square inches to square feet before dividing.

1. The deck area is \(120\times 200=24{,}000\,\text{ft}^2\). 2. The theoretical number of car spaces is \(24{,}000\div 300=80\). 3. Convert the motorcycle space: \(14{,}400\div 144=100\,\text{ft}^2\). 4. The theoretical number of motorcycle spaces is \(24{,}000\div 100=240\).

Under the simplified assumption, the deck could fit \(80\) cars or \(240\) motorcycles.

- Find the rectangle's area first. - Find a square side length whose product with itself equals that area. - Multiply the square's side length by \(4\).

1. The rectangle's area is \(16\times 9=144\,\text{in.}^2\). 2. The square has side length \(12\,\text{in.}\), because \(12\times 12=144\). 3. Its perimeter is \(4\times 12=48\,\text{in.}\).

a) \(144\,\text{in.}^2\) b) \(48\,\text{in.}\)

- Divide area by a known side to find the other side. - Find both new side lengths before calculating the new perimeter. - Subtract the smaller perimeter from the larger one.

1. The original missing side is \(2400\div 60=40\,\text{cm}\). 2. The shortened side is \(60-10=50\,\text{cm}\). 3. To keep the same area, the new other side is \(2400\div 50=48\,\text{cm}\). 4. The original perimeter is \(2\times(60+40)=200\,\text{cm}\). The new perimeter is \(2\times(50+48)=196\,\text{cm}\). 5. The new perimeter is \(200-196=4\,\text{cm}\) less.

a) \(40\,\text{cm}\) b) \(48\,\text{cm}\) c) The perimeter decreases by \(4\,\text{cm}\), from \(200\,\text{cm}\) to \(196\,\text{cm}\).

- Find whole-number factor pairs of \(24\). - Test the change using one pair from part a. - Think about what happens to a product when one factor doubles and the other is halved.

1. Whole-number factor pairs of \(24\) include \(24\) and \(1\), \(12\) and \(2\), \(8\) and \(3\), and \(6\) and \(4\). Any three pairs work. 2. Doubling the length multiplies the area by \(2\). Halving the width multiplies the area by \(\frac{1}{2}\). 3. The combined factor is \(2\times\frac{1}{2}=1\), so the area remains \(24\,\text{ft}^2\).

a) Possible pairs include \(8\,\text{ft}\times 3\,\text{ft}\), \(6\,\text{ft}\times 4\,\text{ft}\), and \(12\,\text{ft}\times 2\,\text{ft}\). b) The area stays \(24\,\text{ft}^2\) because doubling one factor and halving the other cancel each other.

- For subtraction, use the enclosing rectangle and the square cutout. - For addition, find the height below the cutout and split the U into three nonoverlapping rectangles. - Include the inner edges of the cutout when finding perimeter.

1. Subtraction method: The enclosing rectangle has area \(10\times 6=60\,\text{cm}^2\). The cutout has area \(4\times 4=16\,\text{cm}^2\). The template area is \(60-16=44\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. Addition method: The two side rectangles each have area \(3\times 6=18\,\text{cm}^2\). The bottom middle height is \(6-4=2\,\text{cm}\), so the bottom middle rectangle has area \(4\times 2=8\,\text{cm}^2\). The total is \(18+18+8=44\,\text{cm}^2\). 3. Add all eight boundary lengths: \(10+6+3+4+4+4+3+6=40\,\text{cm}\).

a) \(44\,\text{cm}^2\) by either method b) \(40\,\text{cm}\)

- Find Rectangle A's area first. - Find a square side length that gives the same area. - Calculate and compare the two perimeters.

1. Rectangle A has area \(18\times 8=144\,\text{ft}^2\). 2. Square B also has area \(144\,\text{ft}^2\), so its side length is \(12\,\text{ft}\), because \(12\times 12=144\). 3. Rectangle A has perimeter \(2\times(18+8)=52\,\text{ft}\). 4. Square B has perimeter \(4\times 12=48\,\text{ft}\). 5. Square B needs \(52-48=4\,\text{ft}\) less fencing.

a) \(144\,\text{ft}^2\) b) \(s=12\,\text{ft}\) c) Rectangle A: \(52\,\text{ft}\); Square B: \(48\,\text{ft}\). Square B saves \(4\,\text{ft}\) of fencing.

- Split Figure 1 into three rectangles. - Count the entire boundary of each figure, including the inside edges of the U-shape. - Compare how compact the two shapes are.

1. Figure 1 can be split into two \(1\times 4\) rectangles and one \(2\times 1\) rectangle. Its area is \(1\times 4+1\times 4+2\times 1=10\) square units. Figure 2 is a \(5\times 2\) rectangle, so its area is also \(10\) square units. 2. Adding all outer and inner boundary segments of Figure 1 gives \(4+4+1+3+2+3+1+4=22\) length units. 3. Figure 2 has perimeter \(2\times(5+2)=14\) length units. 4. Figure 1 has an indentation, which adds boundary segments without adding area. The compact rectangle has a shorter boundary.

a) \(10\) square units b) Figure 1: \(22\) length units Figure 2: \(14\) length units c) Figure 1's indentation creates additional boundary segments, so it has a greater perimeter.

- Find the full rectangle's area, then subtract the notch. - The notch adds boundary segments to the perimeter. - Count and add all eight sides.

1. The original rectangle measures \(20\,\text{cm}\times 12\,\text{cm}\), so its area is \(240\,\text{cm}^2\). The notch measures \(6\,\text{cm}\times 4\,\text{cm}\), so its area is \(24\,\text{cm}^2\). The remaining area is \(240-24=216\,\text{cm}^2\). 2. Adding all boundary segments, including the three sides of the notch, gives \(20+4+6+4+6+4+20+12=76\,\text{cm}\).

Area: \(216\,\text{cm}^2\) Perimeter: \(76\,\text{cm}\)

- Try one horizontal dividing line and one vertical dividing line. - Make sure no part is counted twice.

1. Horizontal decomposition: a top \(6 \times 3\) rectangle and a bottom \(2 \times 7\) rectangle give \(6 \times 3+2 \times 7=18+14=32\) square units. 2. Vertical decomposition: a left \(8 \times 3\) rectangle and a right \(2 \times 4\) rectangle give \(8 \times 3+2 \times 4=24+8=32\) square units.

The area is \(32\) square units. Two decompositions are \(6 \times 3+2 \times 7\) and \(8 \times 3+2 \times 4\).
