📝 6. Open-Ended Questions
1. Mr. Smith's whiteboard is 10 feet long and 4 feet wide. What is the area of the whiteboard? Show your work.
💡 Solution Steps:
To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width.
Area = Length \( \times \) Width
Area = 10 feet \( \times \) 4 feet
Area = 40 square feet
The area of the whiteboard is 40 square feet.
2. A farmer wants to put a fence around his rectangular vegetable patch. The patch is 7 meters long and 3 meters wide. How much fencing does he need? Show your work.
💡 Solution Steps:
The amount of fencing needed is the perimeter of the vegetable patch.
3. Imagine you have a square piece of paper. Each side of the paper is 6 inches long. Calculate both the perimeter and the area of the paper. Show your work for both calculations.
💡 Solution Steps:
First, let's calculate the perimeter of the square paper.
For a square, all sides are equal. Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
Perimeter = Side + Side + Side + Side
Perimeter = 6 inches + 6 inches + 6 inches + 6 inches
Perimeter = 24 inches
Next, let's calculate the area of the square paper.
Area of a square = Side \( \times \) Side
Area = 6 inches \( \times \) 6 inches
Area = 36 square inches
The perimeter of the paper is 24 inches, and the area is 36 square inches.
