Double the Fun
Suppose we want to double the dimensions of this rectangle. Draw your figure using as many different methods as you can. Explain your methods.

Extensions |
Test this conjecture: If the sides of a figure are doubled to produce a similar figure, the area and perimeter will also double. Investigate with 2-dimensional figures and extrapolate your findings to 3-dimensional figures.
