Chapter 12.8, Problem 9P

1. Draw 4 different rectangles, all of which have area 4 square inches. Label your rectangles with their lengths and widths.
2. Determine the perimeters of each of your rectangles in part (3). Then label your rectangles A, B, C, and D in increasing order of their perimeters, so thatA has the smallest perimeter and D has the largest perimeter among your rectangles.
3. Qualitatively, how do the smaller-perimeter rectangles you drew in part (a) look different from the largerperimeter rectangles? Describe how the shapes of the rectangles change as you go from the rectangle of smallest perimeter to the rectangle of largest perimeter.
