Experiment with the sliders to build different fields. 1 grid square = 1m × 1m.
Farmer Joe has exactly 60m of fence. Help him plan his fields!
Find two different sets of lengths and widths that result in a perimeter of exactly 60m. Calculate their area.
Find four different rectangles with a perimeter of 60m. Organise your findings below.
| Length (m) | Width (m) | Perimeter (m) | Area (sq m) |
|---|
What is the largest possible area the farmer can create with 60m of fencing? Prove why you think this is the maximum.
