Question

The landscaper must build another rectangular patio with the least perimeter possible using 9 1-foot-square tiles. What should be the dimens

Answer 1

hmmm, well intuitively it seems like the rectangle with the least perimeter would be a square

Answer 2

since that ensures the most edges are covered (which in aggregate are the perimeter)

Answer 3

so that would be 3x3, so 12 foot perimter

Answer 4

another way to look at it, how many rectangles can be made

Answer 5

1x9 is one

Answer 6

3x3 is the only other

Answer 7

1x9 has a 20 foot perimeter (9 + 9 + 1 + 1)

Answer 8

3x3 has a 3+3+3+3 = 12 perimeter

Answer 9

so again 3x3 is the one with the least perimeter
