If seven 9 inch squares are placed end to end to form a rectangle. What is the distance around the rectangle they form?

Seven 9 inch squares placed end to end would form a rectangle that was still 9 inches wide but 7 x 9 = 63 inches long. The distance around such a rectangle would measure its perimeter. Two sides are 9 inches long and two sides are 63 inches long. The perimeter would be 63 + 63 + 9 + 9 = 144 inches.

How is 4 the maximum number of nonoverlapping squares with sides of length 3 that will fit inside of a square with sides of length 6?

Each of the four squares, combined, must have a perimeterwhich adds up to that of the larger square. Since the larger square has a perimeter of 24, so must these squares. However, since we are placing them next to each other, the 2 sides of each square facing other sides do not count. Each individual square has a perimeter of 12, so that makes 48. Subtracting the lengths of the sides placed adjacent to each other (8 sides x a length of 3 = 24), we get a perimeter of 24, the perimeter of the larger square. Because the perimeters are equal, there is no room left for another square without overlapping.


Three congruent squares of concrete placed next to each other to form a rectangler walkwayThe perimeter of the concrete path is 24 feet. What are the dimensions of the rectangular walkway?

L + W = P/2 = 12; L = 3 x W so L= 9, W = 3, the concrete squares thus being 3 x 3 feet
