Evaluation Criteria for Assignments 1. Is the solution method presented in a way that makes it easy for someone else to understand
the steps in mathematical thinking involved?
2. Are the variables used in a problem defined explicitly?
3. Are diagrams, charts and/or tables included? Are they carefully and clearly labeled?
4. Is there evidence of coherent mathematical thinking? Are there connections made to material
learned in the course?
5. Is the solution accurate?

Henry's design would result in a larger flower bed because its area would be 2500 square feet.

Henry : perimeter (P) = 4awhere a is one side of the square
200 = 4a
200/4 = a
50 = aso each side of the square is 50 ft.
Area of a square (A) = a^2...where a is one side of the square...
A = 50^2 = 2500 ft^2

Liani : Area of rectangle (A) = length x width
A = L * W
A = 55 * 45
A = 2475 ft^2

so u can see that Henry's design would have a larger area then Liani's
