Show Solution
B, F
Lesson 2
Attributes of Triangles and Quadrilaterals
Describe the Shape

A shape with 4 sides.

Describe as many attributes of the shape as you can.

Show Solution

Sample response: It’s a quadrilateral because it has 4 sides. It has 2 sides the same length. It has 2 right angles. It has 2 sides that go in the same direction.

Lesson 3
Attributes that Define Shapes
Mystery Shape
  1. Which quadrilateral is being described?

    • Hint 1: It has 4 sides.
    • Hint 2: All of its sides are the same length.
    • Hint 3: It has no right angles.

    A
    4-sided shape.

    B
    4-sided shape.

    C
    4-sided shape.

    D
    4-sided shape.

  2. Which hints do you need to guess the quadrilateral? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
  1. B
  2. Sample responses:
    • Hints 2 and 3, because Hint 2 tells you that they have sides that are the same length which gets rid of A and D. Then Hint 3 tells you that there are no right angles which gets rid of C.
    • You only need Hint 3 because B is the only shape with no right angles.

Lesson 6
Distance around Shapes
What is the Perimeter?

Find the perimeter of this shape. Explain or show your reasoning.

6-sided shape with perimeter marked in units.
Show Solution

28 units. Sample response: There are 2 sides that are 2 units each, and 2 sides that are 6 units each, so that's (2×2)+(2×6)(2 \times 2) + (2 \times 6) or 4+124 + 12, which is 16. There are 2 other sides that are 8 units and 4 units, so that’s 12 more. 16+12=2816+12=28

Lesson 7
Same Perimeter, Different Shapes
Create Your Own Shapes

Draw 2 different shapes that have a perimeter of 32 units.

Show Solution
Answers vary.
Lesson 8
Find the Perimeter
A Triangle and a Square

Find the perimeter of the triangle and the square. Explain or show your reasoning.

A
Triangle with sides marked 10, 6, and 8 centimeters.

B
Shape with a side length labeled 8 inches.

Show Solution

A: 24 in. Sample response: 6+8+10=246 + 8+ 10 = 24

B: 32 in. Sample response: I multiplied 4×84\times8 since there are 4 sides that are the same length.

Lesson 9
Perimeter Problems
Sides of a Pool

A rectangular swimming pool has a perimeter of 94 feet. If it is 32 feet on one side, what are the lengths of the other three sides? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

15 feet, 32 feet, and 15 feet. Sample response: I know that one of the other sides is the same length as 32 feet, so that's 32+32=6432 + 32 = 64 for two sides. 9464=3094 - 64 = 30, so the other two sides are 30 feet together. I can divide 30 by 2 to get 15.

Problem 1

Find the perimeter of the shape.

Show Solution

26 units

Problem 2

All sides of the hexagon have the same length. What is the perimeter of the hexagon? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution
48 inches. Sample response: 8+8+8+8+8+8=488+8+8+8+8+8=48
Problem 3

Tyler’s rectangular room has a total perimeter of 54 feet. The length of Tyler’s room is 13 feet. What is the width of the room? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

14 feet. Sample response: 13+13=2613 + 13 = 26 so I know that two sides take up 26 feet. 5426=2854 -26 = 28 so the other two sides are 28 feet. I can divide by 2 to get their length 28÷2=1428 \div 2 = 14.

Lesson 10
Problem Solving with Perimeter and Area
Lin’s Garden Fence

Lin is building a fence around her rectangular garden. A diagram is shown. The area of the garden is 36 square feet. How many feet of fencing material will she need to enclose the whole garden?

Show Solution

30 feet. Sample response: If the area is 36 square feet and one side is 3, I can divide 36 by 3 to find the missing side. Since 3×12=363 \times 12 = 36, the missing side is 12 feet long. The perimeter can be found by adding 2×122 \times 12 and 2×32 \times 3, which is 24 and 6. 24+6=3024 + 6 = 30.

Lesson 11
Rectangles with the Same Perimeter
Perimeter of 18

Draw two rectangles that each have a perimeter of 18 units, but different areas. Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution
Sample response: Student draws rectangles that are 1 by 8 (area: 8 square units), 2 by 7 (area: 14 square units), 3 by 6 (area: 18 square units), or 4 by 5 (20 square units), and explain how the perimeter is the same, but the area is different.
Lesson 12
Rectangles with the Same Area
Area of 36

Draw two rectangles that each have an area of 36 square units but different perimeters. Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

Sample response: Student draws rectangles that are 6 by 6 (perimeter: 24 units), 9 by 4 (perimeter: 26 units), 12 by 3 (perimeter: 30 units), or 18 by 2 (perimeter: 40 units), and explain how the area is the same but the perimeter is different.

Problem 1

A town is building a rectangular playground with fencing all around it. The area of the playground is 99 square yards. One side of the playground needs 11 yards of fencing.

How much fencing is needed to enclose the entire playground? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

40 yards of fencing. Sample response: 9×11=999 \times 11 = 99, so the second side of the playground is 9 yards. This means two sides are 11 yards and two sides are 9 yards. 11+11+9+9=4011 + 11 + 9 + 9 = 40

Problem 2
  1. Draw a rectangle that has the same perimeter as Rectangle N but has a different area. Label it P. What is the area of P?

  2. Draw a rectangle that has the same area as Rectangle N but has a different perimeter. Label it Q. What is the perimeter of Q?
Show Solution
Sample response:
  1. 25 square units
  2. 28 units

3 rectangles on a dot grid. Q. P. N.

Lesson 13
Shapes and Play
Possible Perimeters
A rectangular mural is being made for a park that will take up 64 square feet. Give 2 possible perimeters for the mural. Explain or show your reasoning.
Show Solution

Sample responses:

40 feet. A 4 foot by 16 foot rectangle would have an area of 64 square feet and a perimeter of 40 feet. 68 feet because I can multiply 2×322\times32 to get 64, but 2+2+32+32=682+2+32+32=68.

Lesson 14
Wax Prints
Quadrilaterals in a Pattern
  1. Describe the quadrilaterals that were used in this pattern.

  2. If the image of the pattern is a rectangle with side lengths of 9 inches by 6 inches, what is the perimeter? Explain your reasoning.
Show Solution
  1. Sample responses: There are quadrilaterals in white and gray that don’t have any right angles. The black quadrilaterals are rhombuses. The grey shapes and the white shapes are quadrilaterals that have 2 equal sides. The gray and white shapes are not rectangles, rhombuses, or squares. It looks like there are tall skinny rectangles that are shaded white and gray behind the black rhombuses.
  2. 30 inches. Sample response: I added 9 plus 6 to get 15, then multiplied by 2 since there would be another set of sides that were 9 inches and 6 inches.

Problem 1

A rectangular garden has an area of 21 square yards. What could be the side lengths of the garden? Explain or show your reasoning.

Show Solution

Sample response: 3 yards wide and 7 yards long since 3×7=213 \times 7 = 21.
