Use this virtual geoboard to explore geometric concepts of area and perimeter for quadrilaterals. Hint: Use one elastic to create the quadrilateral and then click measure.

What happens to the area of these quadrilaterals?
What sort of quadrilateral maximizes area?
Which ones provide the smallest area?
the area getts bigger and smalller as u strech it. the SQUARE DOES. TRIANGLE.

You can make 5 quadrilaterals with a perimeter of 16, a 4x4 square, a 2x8 rectangle and a 1x16 rectangle.The same dimensions of the rectangles would also apply for parallelograms.
ReplyDeleteThe area fluxuates.A square minimizes area and a rectangle maximizes area.
the area gets smaller as you add more shapes but some shpaes may be skinny small big or fat. rectangles maximize the areas and squares seem to be the smallest.

i could only make 3 different quadrilaterals with the perimeter of 16 - a rectangle, spaure, and rhombus. when i tried to make a kite or trapezoid, i couldn't get exactly 16 perimeter but it was close.

i could make various quadrilaterals, such as a square, a rectangle and a rhombus. However, the area of it gets smaller as you add more shapes. So the maximum quadrilaterals you can fit is 3. - rohan
ReplyDeletethe maximum amount of quadrilaterals i created was 3. iwas able to make a square and a rectangle.

The maximum quadrilaterals I made was three a square,rhombus,and a rectangle with the perimeter of sixteen.
ReplyDelete*You can make 9 squares with an area of 16 units(I overlapped them until they filled the whole geo board).
ReplyDelete*The larger you make your quadrilateral, the larger the area of the figure it is, but the smaller you make your quadrilateral, the smaller the area of the shape.
*The largest quardrilateral that I was able to construct on the geo board was a rectangle with an area of 110 sq. units and a perimiter of 42 units. The smallest quadrilateral I was able to construct was a square with an area of 1 sq. units and a perimeter of 4 units.

I was able to make 3 different quadrilaterals with the perimeter of 16.... they were-- a square, rectangle, and a rhombus... Every time i tried to do more shapes...the perimeter increased in size and they couldnt fit into the geoboard... it was close though....

ReplyDeleteif you make it wide but with lots of corners it can have a big area with small perimeter i think
