Today's activities needs you to convince someone (a teacher or a classmate) that you have the correct answer to something. It's as easy as folding a square piece of paper, and then showing that you're right. You need to convince someone who is reluctant to believe you!

Warning: You will need to at least show your paper on camera for this.

First, you'll need a square paper. If you're not sure how to make one, please watch Mr. Mancini's video here to see how.

Now, what do you need to fold? That's Easy! Just try and make the following with your square (Each number is a separate challenge, you don't do them all at once, but you can use the same square for each):

1. Construct a square with exactly 1⁄4 the area of the original square. Convince your partner that it is a square and has 1⁄4 of the area.

2. Construct a triangle with exactly 1⁄4 the area of the original square. Convince your partner that it has 1⁄4 of the area.

3. Construct another triangle, also with 1⁄4 the area, that is not congruent to the first one you constructed. Convince your partner that it has 1⁄4 of the area.

4. Construct a square with exactly 1⁄2 the area of the original square. Convince your partner that it is a square and has 1⁄2 of the area.

5. Construct another square, also with 1⁄2 the area, that is oriented differently from the one you constructed in 4. Convince your partner that it has 1⁄2 of the area.

Question 4: Create a parallelogram of any length and width that has a total area of 80 m^2 (meters squared).

Before we had to cancel classes because of our physical distancing rules, we had almost finished our surface area unit. Hopefully with the review last week and the reminders this week you'll be able to easily answer these questions (the last one is a little tougher). You can answer them in any way you want, but I'm including the formula sheet here if you which to do it that way.

If you would prefer to answer by working on paper you can attach it to the assignment I made for handing in that way here. Otherwise, write out your answers in the questions that are linked below.

When typing please use the following symbols for operations if showing your work (only way for part marks):

Operation Symbol Example

Addition + 2 + 2 = 4

Subtraction - 4 - 2 = 2

Multiplication * 10 * 4 = 40

Division / 40 / 2 = 20

Question 6: Create any right rectangular prism that has a total surface area of 300 meters squared. List the length, width, and height of your prism in your answer.

We looked at two dimensional shapes last week. But you've already studied how to find the surface area of three dimensional shapes. Please try to do these review questions on paper at home. Attach a picture of your work to the assignment.

If you've forgotten your formulas to find it, they can be found here, but you don't NEED to use them if you have other ways to get an answer.
