Notes: (copy this page and the example problem) The perimeter of an object is the sum of the lengths of the outside edges.

Circle: ! = !d Square: P = s+s+s+s or P = 4s Rectangle: P = 2l + 2w  

Consecutive  integers:  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7  .  .  .  .    

Consecutive  Even  Integers:    2,  4,  6,  8,  10,  12  .  .  .  .  .  .    

Consecutive  Odd  Integers:    1,  3,  5,  7,  9  .  .  .  .  .   Problem Solving Process 1. Understand - read the problem several times and draw a diagram 2. Translate - use variables to represent your unknown values - use the information in a problem to create an equation 3. Solve - solve the equation you created in step 2 4. Interpret - determine if your answer makes sense - make sure you are answering the question that was asked Example: Find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 124 feet if the length is two more than twice the width.
