Equivalence Lyrics

Say you have a triangle and you want to know

How much space it takes up

Well the going will be slow

But if you turn that triangle into a rectangle

Easy-peasy lemon squeezy

Equivalence (They look real different)

Equivalence (But they take up the same space

Equivalence (That makes it simple)

Just follow the rules and you'll be cool

Say you have to measure some crazy kind of shape

It won't' be a pleasure

Unless you give yourself a break

So if you use the rule to wrangle

It into a big rectangle

Easy-peasy lemon squeezy

Equivalence (They look real different)

Equivalence (But they take up the same space

Equivalence (That makes it simple)

Just follow the rules and you'll be cool

Should we avoid a trapezoid? Make it a rectangle!

Or a parallelogram? Make it a rectangle!

Who among us wanta rhombus? Make it a rectangle

Oh come on, a polygon?!

Equivalence (They look real different)

Equivalence (But they take up the same space

Equivalence (That makes it simple)

Just follow the rules and you'll be cool
