Solving equations
Warm-up
At the beginning of practice, the coach divides
the athletes into two groups. She asks one group to run around the gym
4 times, the other group to run back and forth along the diagonal of the gym 5 times.
She claims that the two paths are equal in length.

Construct examples of gyms for which one of the paths is longer than the other, and vice versa.
|
|
|
Write expressions that describe the length of the path according to
each of the two methods. |
