Announcements
CST Part 1, Tuesday May 15
CST Part 2, Thursday May 17
Overview
In today’s class we continue our work examining the relationship between the length of the side and the area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter in order to develop equations which can be used to describe and predict different measurements of these rectangles.
