| 15) You have 32 feet of fencing and want to determine the maximum area that can be enclosed with the fencing to make a flower garden. You do not want to deal with fractions or decimals, so you are limiting the dimensions to whole numbers. Also, the area is to be rectangular (or square) in shape. Copy or print out the chart below to organize your work. (a) What are the dimensions of the figure that yields the maximum area? (b) What is the area of the figure? |

| For the next three problems, use these rectangles to conduct a small experiment. |

|
| |
|
| 22) Compare the new areas with the original areas. Consider what happens to the area of a rectangle when both dimensions are doubled. Write a general conditional statement (if-then) that illustrates the relationship of doubling both dimensions of a rectangle and how the area changes. |

| 35) Create three rectangular prisms with the dimensions of your choice. Find the volumes of your original prisms. Then double the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism and find the new volumes. Compare the new volumes with the original volumes. Consider what happens to the volume of a rectangular prism when the length, width, and height are doubled. Write a general conditional statement (if-then) that illustrates the relationship of doubling the dimensions of a rectangular prism and how the volume changes. Use the chart below to organize your work. |

| Extended Research: Check with your instructor to see if he/she is interested in awarding extra credit to you for writing a one-page report on the following research topic: There are lots of naturally formed rectangles and interesting man-made constructions in which the “Golden Rectangle” with the “Golden Ratio” is used. Some say this rectangle is the most visually appealing to the eye. Research the Internet to find information about the “Golden Rectangle” and the “Golden Ratio” and places where it occurs naturally and also where it is used in man-made constructions. Provide pictures and text in your report. Prepare the report in a word-processing document and send it to your instructor via email. List the websites that you used for references. (To use a picture on a website, often times you can right-click on the picture, and then paste it into your document. Be sure to list the website from which the picture is borrowed in the references.) |
