Question

The perimeter of a square is the distance around the outside of the square. a. Write a formula that expresses the perimeter of a square in inches, p, in terms of the side length of the square in inches, s. P = Preview b. Is the perimeter of a square (in inches) proportional to the side length of the square (in inches)? O Yes, because the perimeter (in inches) is always the same number of times as large as the side length (in inches). O Yes, because the perimeter (in inches) is related to the side length (in inches). O No, because the perimeter (in inches) is not always the same number of times as large as the side length (in inches). ONo, because the perimeter (in inches) is not always larger than the side length (in inches).

q-sarah-is-confused-about-the-difference-between-the-perimeter-and-the-area-of-a-polygon-explain-the-two-concepts-and-the-distinction-between-them-a-a-polygon-can-be-covered-with-rows-of-1-u-67335

Q. Sarah is confused about the difference between the perimeter and the area of a polygon. Explain the two concepts and the distinction between them. A. A polygon can be covered with rows of 1 unit by 1 unit squares. Since, area is the number of square units covering a shape, therefore area of the polygon will be the product of number of rows and the number of squares in each row. Area is measured in square units. Perimeter of a polygon is distance around its boundary. Therefore, all the side lengths to are added to calculate the perimeter of the polygon. Perimeter is measured in linear units. So my question is does it work for all polygons to multiply two sides to get area? Or only specific ones?

Problem 2: The perimeter of a square P (measured in inches) is expanding in size at a constant rate of change of 6 inches per inch with respect to the square's side length s (measured in inches). a) If the length of the side of the square changes from i. 0 to 3.5 inches, how does the square's perimeter P change? ii. 2 to 6 inches, how does the square's perimeter P change? b) Express the change in the square's perimeter P in terms of the change in the square's side length s. ΔP = _______ · s c) Write a formula and construct a graph that represents the perimeter of the square P (in inches) in terms of the square's side length s (in inches). d) Illustrate the solution to 30 = 6s on your graph and describe what this solution represents. e) If P = 4s represents the square's perimeter in terms of the square's side length (in inches), write a formula that represents the perimeter's side length s in terms of the square's perimeter P. f) How is the formula you determined in part (e) related to the formula P = 4s? g) Represent the changes you computed in part (a) as vectors on the axes above. i. What does the length of each vector represent? ii. What must be true about the end points of the vectors? Explain.

The perimeter P of a square (measured in inches) is expanding in size at a constant rate of change of 4 inches per inch with respect to the square's side length s (measured in inches). If the length of the side of the square changes from 0 to 2.5 inches, how does the square's perimeter P change? To find the change in the square's perimeter in terms of the change in the square's side length s, express it as a formula and construct a graph that represents the perimeter of the square P (in inches) in terms of the square's side length s (in inches).

00:01 In this question we're going to be analyzing a question and an answer.
00:04 So the question is that sarah is confused about the difference between the perimeter and the area of a polygon.
00:12 Explain the two concepts and a distinction between them.
00:17 So we explain the concept of perimeter and area of a polygon and also the difference between them.
00:26 Now the answer is that a polygon can be covered with a rows.
00:31 Of one unit by one unit squares.
00:37 Since area is a number of square units covering a shape, therefore area of the polygon will be the product of the number of rows and the number of squares in each row.
00:54 The area is measured in square units.
00:58 That's the first part of the answer.
01:00 Explaining the concept of area.
01:04 Perimeter is a distance around around a polygon's boundary.
01:10 Therefore, all the side lengths are to be added to calculate the perimeter of the polygon.
01:17 The perimeter is measured in linear units.
01:21 Remember, area is measured in square units.
01:25 Perimeter is measured in linear units.
01:29 So what's the question here? does this work for all polygons to multiply two sides together area? or only specific ones.
01:41 Good question.
01:42 Now if you have, let's talk about different polygons...
