What is the difference between a square and a rectangle?
A square is equal on all four sides. A rectangle has two sides that are equal to each other.
If the height of a rectangle is 12 ft and the base is 2 ft more than the height...what is our area?
168 ft
If the base of the rectangle is 2 ft, and the height is 4 ft more than the base... what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
20 ft
Surprise! This problem is not finding the area of a rectangle in a rectangle. I want you instead, to tell me, what the formula for perimeter and area is.
Area=base X height
Perimeter= base + height + base + height
or 2 x (base + height)
You were brave and chose a 400 level question! I am proud of you! Butttt... I need you to tell me what I should do if I have my total area measurement, and my base measurement... but not my height. How can I find the height?
divide your base by the total area
Fooled you! I want you to tell me instead, how you could find the formula for area if you can't remember for a moment.
Look at the anchor chart!
If the height of a rectangle is 12 cm more than the base, and the base is 18 cm...what is the area of the rectangle?
360 cm
If the base of a rectangle is 14 m and the height is 20 m more than the base...what is the perimeter?
108 m
Gotcha! This problem is not what you thought! I want you to tell me how I could find how I could find how much trim I need for a blanket I am making!
Use the perimeter formula! Find the base and height and then plug in!
500 points for Gryffindor! Just kidding, we still need to earn our points. Tell me how I can find the area of a rectangle with a smaller rectangle inside. (hint 3 steps)
1. find the total area of the larger rectangle.
2. Find the total of the smaller rectangle.
3. Subtract the smaller rectangle from the larger rectangle.
Look at you picking a 500-point question of the mystery category, very brave of you! I need you to tell me how I can find my missing base measurement of a picture frame if I know the total perimeter and the height measurement.
1. subtract your 2 height measurements from your total perimeter.
2. find half of the remaining number to get your base by dividing by 2.
