Question
Nine square tiles are laid out on a table so that
they make a solid pattern. Each tile must touch at
least one other tile along an entire edge. The
squares all have sides of length 1.
These figures have
perimeters of 18 units
and 16 units,
(a) What are the possible perimeters of the figures
that can be formed? (The perimeter is the distance
around the figure.)
(b) Which figure has the least perimeter?
respectively.
(a) What are all the possible perimeters of the figures that can be formed? (The perimeter is the distance around
the figure.) Use the Show Work learning aid to provide related calculations and additional reasoning to support
your answer.
