model three different rectangulars using exatly 2 yards.
To model three different rectangles using exactly 2 yards, we need to consider the perimeter of each rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.
Given that we have exactly 2 yards of material, we need to distribute the material to create three different rectangles. Here are three possible options:
1. Square:
Let's consider the first rectangle to be a square. A square has all sides equal in length. Since we have 2 yards of material, we can divide it equally among all four sides. So, each side of the square would be 0.5 yards (2 yards / 4 sides = 0.5 yards). Therefore, the square would have dimensions of 0.5 yards x 0.5 yards.
2. Long Rectangle:
For the second rectangle, let's create a long rectangle. In this case, we can use almost all 2 yards of material for the length, leaving a small portion for the width. For example, we can consider the length to be 1.9 yards and the width to be 0.1 yards.
3. Square with Offset:
In the third option, let's create another square, but this time with an offset. We can divide the 2 yards of material into two unequal portions. For instance, we can use 1.5 yards for one side and 0.5 yards for the other side. This would still create a rectangular shape, but with an offset from the center.
Remember, these are just three examples of rectangles you can create using exactly 2 yards of material. There are infinite possibilities, as long as the lengths of all sides add up to 2 yards.
