If you have 550 ft of fencing what are the areas of the different rectangles you could enclose with the fencing?

The largest area rectangle that can be enclosed by 550 feet of Fencing is a square, which would have sides of 550/4 = 137.5 feet and therefore an area of 1.89 X 104 square feet, to the justified number of significant digits. There is no theoretical lower limit greater than zero on the area of a rectangle that would satisfy the stated conditions. As a possible practical limit, consider a rectangle with two sides each of length 273 feet and the other two sides 1 foot each. This would have an area of only 273 square feet. If the short sides could be made only 0.1 foot in length, the longer side lengths would be 274.9 feet and the area only 27.49 square feet.

When you use the Distributive Property to find areas of rectangles why does it make sense to divide the rectangles so you get groups of 10?

How are the areas of similar rectangles related to the scale factor?
The areas are proportional to the square of the scale factor.
Why should you learn about how to calculate the perimeter and area of an object?
Knowing how to calculate areas is useful when ordering carpets, other floor coverings or quantities of turf to create a lawn. Calculating perimeters is required to order the correct length of fencing or hedging plants to enclose a garden or other area.
Find 4 rectangles with same area with different perimeter?
10cm by 10cm (perimeter=40cm), 5cm by 20cm (perimeter=50cm), 50cm by 2cm (perimeter=104cm), 100cm by 1cm (perimeter=202cm). All of these rectangles' areas are 100cm2
What strategies are there to find the surface area of three-dimensional shapes made from rectangles and triangles?
Find the areas of the rectangles and triangles. Add them together.
Why could two students obtain different values for the calculated areas of the same rectangle?
because it was estimation, the lengths were different and the rectangles are not the same
How are rectangles related to the distributive property?
Rectangles are related to the distributive property because you can divide a rectangle into smaller rectangles. The sum of the areas of the smaller rectangles will equal the area of the larger rectangle.
How do you find the areas of the rectangles?
multiply the length with the breadth.
Can rectangles with the same perimeter have different areas?
Yes. Say there are two rectangles, both with perimeter of 20. One of the rectangles is a 2 by 8 rectangle. The area of this rectangle is 2 x 8 which is 16. The other rectangle is a 4 by 6 rectangle. It has an area of 4 x 6 which is 24.

Can different rectangles have the same area and perimeter?
It's very easy for two rectangles to have the same area and different perimeters,or the same perimeter and different areas. In either case, it would be obvious toyou when you see them that there's something different about them, and theywould not fit one on top of the other.But if two rectangles have the same area and the same perimeter, then to look at themyou'd swear that they're the same rectangle, and one could be laid down on the otherand fit exactly.
What is the perimeter of 5000 acres in meters?
You can't tell the linear dimensions from knowing only the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all have the same area. Even if you consider only rectangles, there are still an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different lengths and widths, that all have areas of 5,000 acres.
How do you figure area when all 4 sides are different?
You need to cut up your figure into several parts in shapes for which we know how to calculate areas, such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. The area of your figure is the sum of the areas of its parts.
What is the area of a L shaped room?
An L-shaped area can be divided into two rectangles. The total area is the sum of the areas of the two rectangles.
