Your teacher will give you some dot paper for drawing.

1. The distance from 1 dot to another horizontally or vertically represents 1 yard. Connect dots on the grid horizontally or vertically to design a small park that has 5 of these features:

   5. an open field
   6. picnic table

   9. a feature of your choice
2. Describe the area and the perimeter of 3 features in the park.

Solve each problem. Explain or show your reasoning.

1. A rectangular playground is 6 yards by 14 yards.
   1. How much fencing is needed to fence in the playground?
   2. What is the area of the playground?
   3. Give another pair of side lengths for the playground that would have the same perimeter, but a different area.
2. A planned rectangular field in a park will have an area of 48 square yards. Give 2 possible perimeters for the field.
