A Sequence of Rectangles

Write the information from page 567 to fill in the perimeter and area for these rectangles:

  Perimeter Area
All sides × 2    
All sides × 4    
All sides × 3    
All sides × 6    
  • 8 Consider these pairs of rectangles where the dimensions are doubled (rectangles with all sides × 2 and all sides × 4, or those with all sides × 3 and all sides × 6). What happens to the perimeter when you double each of the dimensions of a rectangle?

  • 9 Consider the same pairs of rectangles as above. What happens to the area?

  • 10 Did perimeter and area of rectangles change in the same way it did for squares? Explain your thinking.
