Question 187632: Suppose to want to reserve a rectangular region in a large room and you have 32 ft. of masking tape. Let’s investigate how much area you can reserve with 32 ft. of masking tape and how this area changes with different lengths of sides for the rectangular region.
1) Take a guess on the dimensions of the region that would give the largest area.
2) Find the values for the table below. The column labels of base, height, and area represent the values of the base height and area of the rectangular region. Use as many different values of bases and heights as you can, but have the perimeter or the rectangular region be 32ft.
Base Height Area

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose to want to reserve a rectangular region in a large room and you have 32 ft. of masking tape. Let’s investigate how much area you can reserve with 32 ft. of masking tape and how this area changes with different lengths of sides for the rectangular region.
1) Take a guess on the dimensions of the region that would give the largest area.
The greatest area of a rectangle of a specified perimeter is a square. It's not really a guess, I've determined that. The greatest area for a given perimeter is a circle, but that's not a rectangle.

2) Find the values for the table below. The column labels of base, height, and area represent the values of the base height and area of the rectangular region. Use as many different values of bases and heights as you can, but have the perimeter or the rectangular region be 32ft.
I don't see the table.
