1-33.
a table can you learn more about how the perimeter changes as the rugs get
bigger.
a. organize your perimeter data in a table like the one shown below.
figure number
umber 1 2 3 4 5 5 20
perimeter (in units)
b. graph the perimeter data for figures 1 through 5. (you do not need to
include figure 20.) what is the shape of the graph?
c. how does the perimeter grow? examine your table and graph and describe
how the perimeter changes as the rugs get larger.
generalize the patterns you have found by writing an equation that will
calculate the perimeter of any size rug in your design. that is, what is the
perimeter of figure n? show how you got your answer.
