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?
