  pupkit


I want to get a puppy and kitten and they will need a safe place to run around in when they are outside.  I plan to make it in the shape of a rectangle and have it completely enclosed so that they will not run away.  I have 20 yards of fencing.  What could the place for the puppy and kitten look like?  Don't forget to label the number of yards on each side of your rectangle.
Hint: There is more than one way to make the rectangle. Is a square a rectangle?_____












For 4th and 5th graders:  Can you show me all the possible ways that we can make the rectangular place for the puppy and kitten using the 20 yards of fencing?
