WORK WITH A PARTNER… Two formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle are P = 2l + 2w and P = 2( l + w ) 1)Let l = 12 and w = 8. Find the perimeter of the rectangle using each formula. 2)When you used the formula P = 2l + 2w, did you add first or multiply first? 3)When you used the formula P = 2 (l + w), did you add first or multiply first? 4)Which formula do you prefer to use? Why?
DISCOVER… Solve – 6 ÷ 2 Solve – 6 ÷ 2 using division from left to right. then addition, then subtraction.
