Challenge:
Bob the Builder has to build a patio with a perimeter of 24 metres.
Make sketches of as many different patio designs he could use, making sure you label the length of each side.
1. Begin with all the rectangular patios that he could make.
The first option has been done for you-
7m + 7m + 5m + 5m = 24 metres
What would be the length of the longest sides possible in a rectangular patio?
2. Next, sketch other examples of irregular shaped patios that he could build. Here is one example….
7m + 4m + 2m +1m + 4m + 3m +1m +2m = 24m
Remember…
A regular shape is a 2D shape where all (interior) angles and sides measure the same.
An irregular shape is a shape which has sides and angles of any length and size.
