Area of a Rectangle

The Area is the width times the height: Area = w × h

Example: A rectangle is 6 m wide and 3 m high, what is its Area?

Area = 6 m × 3 m = 18 m²

Perimeter of a Rectangle

The Perimeter is the distance around the edges.

The Perimeter is 2 times the (width + height): Perimeter = 2(w+h)

Example: A rectangle has a width of 12 cm, and a height of 5 cm, what is its Perimeter?

Perimeter = 2 × (12 cm + 5 cm) = 2 × 17 cm = 34 cm
Radius, Diameter and Circumference

The Radius is the distance from the center to the edge.
The Diameter starts at one side of the circle, goes through the center and ends on the other side.
The Circumference is the distance around the edge of the circle.

WALLET/PURSE INTRODUCTIONS
Participants pull an object out of their wallet or purse, which represents them and explains why.

NOTE about tiles:  there a 144 sq inches in a sq foot 

IF each tile is square and is 6 inches long then there are 36 sq inches per tile.  144" divided be 36" = 4

The kitchen is 15 feet wide (.75 x 20) 

The doorway is 1.5 feet wide (10% of the shorter side)

The total area of the kitchen is 20ft x 15ft or 300 square feet.  The counters should be no more than 15 square feet. (1/20 x 300)

The counters are 7.5 ft. long. (15 / 2)

You’ll need 285 sq ft of tile.  (300-15)  Each square foot requires 4 tiles (because they are only 6”), so you’ll need 285 x 4 tiles = 1140 tiles to cover the floor.

heuristic: a structure for the problem solving process

Five steps of the heuristic approach

1. Define the problem

2. Generate solutions

3. Define course of action

4. Implement solution

5. Evaluate solution
