- The residents of TIMS Town wanted to build a small park. The Town Council agreed and began to plan for the new park. Here are some of the proposals:
- The total park will measure 75 feet 80 feet.
- The water fountain will need an area of 20 20 feet.
- The slide area will need an area of 24 feet 30 feet.
- The swing area will need an area of 25 feet 35 feet.
- The mini-carousel will need an area of 20 20 feet.
- The remaining area may be used for benches and ball-play areas as well as landscaping.
- What is the area of the park? Sketch a rectangle and use the break-apart method to find the area. Write number sentences on each part to show the number of square feet in each part.
- Show another way to break the rectangle apart to find the area.
- What is the perimeter of the park?
- After the water fountain, slide, swing, and mini-carousel areas are built, what is the remaining area for the bench and ball-play areas?
- The skate park in TIMS Town is twice as large as the new park. If the water fountain, slide, swing, and mini-carousel areas were built in the area of the skate park, what would be the remaining area?
