RectTri Area vs. Perimeter Drafts

Author:
Scott Farrar
Topic:
Area, Perimeter
Drafts of an activity that allows students to explore the relationship between Areas and Perimeters in polygons. Focus is on triangles and rectangles. Possible extensions to other polygons and to the parabolas of Area as a function of a polygon's perimeter.
