The landscaper must build another rectangular patio with the least perimeter possible using 9 1-foot-square tiles. What should be the dimens
hmmm, well intuitively it seems like the rectangle with the least perimeter would be a square
since that ensures the most edges are covered (which in aggregate are the perimeter)
so that would be 3x3, so 12 foot perimter
another way to look at it, how many rectangles can be made
1x9 is one
3x3 is the only other
1x9 has a 20 foot perimeter (9 + 9 + 1 + 1)
3x3 has a 3+3+3+3 = 12 perimeter
so again 3x3 is the one with the least perimeter
Thank you I have another question, can you help me
sure but I'd say ask another one to keep them separate
kk see it
hmm, ask a different question lol
The perimeter of a paved area being built at a playround is going to be 46 meters. If the length and width are each a whole number of meters, what should the length and widht of the area be to cover the greatest possible area? draw a picture and make an organized list to solve.
