Lesson
1.9 Using a
Graph to Investigate Perimeter and Area
CIESEmath activity - Perimeter, Area
Problem
In this activity you
will use a Java Applet to explore the relationship between area and
perimeter. It
starts off with an example of a rectangle with a perimeter of 20. You
are to find out what the dimensions are of a rectangle that has the
largest area which maintains a perimeter of 20. Then you will do
the same for a rectangle with a perimeter of 10. Your goal is to make a
prediction about the shape of the rectangle that has the maximum area.
