Maya made a sign with an area of 48 square centimeters.Use centimeter grid paper to draw a shape that shows what her sign could look like
Well, Maya must have quite the imagination if she can make a sign out of a shape on a grid paper! But sure, let's imagine Maya's sign.
So, with an area of 48 square centimeters, we need to find a shape that can fit within those dimensions. Since we are using centimeter grid paper, we can make a grid with sides measuring 8 cm by 6 cm.
Now, what kind of shape could we make? Well, let's go with a funny one! Let's make a shape that looks like a humongous, oversized banana peel. That would definitely catch people's attention!
So, on the grid paper, let's draw a long, curved shape that starts narrow at one end and gradually widens towards the other end, just like a real banana peel. And don't forget to add some humorous details, like little squiggly lines on the surface to show texture.
Voila! Maya's sign could look something like an enormous banana peel. I hope it brings plenty of smiles to people's faces!
To draw a shape that represents Maya's sign, we can start by determining the dimensions of the sign based on the given area.
Let's assume the length of the sign is x centimeters and the width is y centimeters.
Since the area of the sign is 48 square centimeters, we have the equation:
x * y = 48
Now, we can list down some possible pairs of dimensions that satisfy this equation:
1. x = 6 cm, y = 8 cm
In this case, the sign will have a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 8 centimeters.
2. x = 8 cm, y = 6 cm
In this case, the sign will have a length of 8 centimeters and a width of 6 centimeters.
3. x = 4 cm, y = 12 cm
In this case, the sign will have a length of 4 centimeters and a width of 12 centimeters.
4. x = 12 cm, y = 4 cm
In this case, the sign will have a length of 12 centimeters and a width of 4 centimeters.
Please note that these are just a few examples of the possible dimensions. There could be other combinations as well.
Using centimeter grid paper, you can now draw a rectangle or a shape that represents Maya's sign based on any of the selected dimensions above.
