For each of your assigned squares, measure the length of the diagonal and the perimeter of the square in centimeters.
Check your measurements with your group. After you come to an agreement, record your measurements in the table.
Plot the diagonal and perimeter values from the table on the coordinate plane.
What do you notice about the points on the graph?
In the table, record the length of the diagonal for each of your assigned squares from the previous activity. Next, calculate the area of each of your squares.
Examine the class graph of these values. What do you notice?
How is the relationship between the diagonal and area of a square the same as the relationship between the diagonal and perimeter of a square from the previous activity? How is it different?
Here is a rough map of a neighborhood.
There are 4 mail routes during the week.
On Monday, the mail truck follows the route A-B-E-F-G-H-A, which is 14 miles long.

On Wednesday, the truck follows the route A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-A, which is 24 miles long.
On Thursday, the mail truck follows the route B-E-F-G-B.
