Rainer's Scribe Post

first thing today is the homework (6,8,9,10 -perfect square?).

• - 6 is not a perfect square
• - 8 is not a perfect square
• - 9 is a perfect square with equal sides (3x3)
• - 10 is not a perfect square

a perfect square is any square that has the same length on all sides.


************************************************************

1. with 6 tiles what is the biggest square you can make?

remember a square must have all sides the same length.



= 2x2

= 4

2. now make the smallest square.

= 1x1

= 1

you can also make perfect squares with any number of tiles.

1. -make a the biggest square you can
2. -cut the other extra squares in thin pieces
3. -add them to two sides like an L in the square

ex.

to figure out the exact size of the side length of the square you must square(umm check mark sign in a calculator) the area.
