Lizard Pens Jordan would like to contain his lizards. He wants to build a rectangular pen for them and has found 36 meters of board to use. Design at least four different rectangular pens that he could build. Each pen must use all 36 meters of board. Give the length and width for each of the pens. If each lizard needs one square meter of area (1 m2), how many lizards will each of your four pens hold? Be sure to explain your strategy and your reasons for your steps. Extra: Jordan wants to build a rectangular pen that will hold the maximum number of lizards. Find the dimensions of that pen and tell how you know you're correct.
