Question

Roco draws two shapes. one of his shapes is 4 times longer and 4 times wider than the other. he found that the perimeter of the larger shape is 6 times larger than the perimeter of the smaller shapes and that the area is 16 times larger. is he correct? what did he calculate correctly: area, perimeter or both?

Answer 1

If two squares have different perimeters, the one with the larger perimeter will have a larger area. If two polygons have the same perimeter, then they must have the same shape. If two polygons have the same shape but are different sizes, then they must have different perimeters.

If two squares have equal areas, they will also have sides of the same length. But although "equal areas mean equal sides" is true for squares, it is not true for most geometric figures.

In order to find the perimeter or distance around the rectangle, we need to add up all four side lengths. This can be done efficiently by simply adding the length and the width, and then multiplying this sum by two since there are two of each side length.
