Problema Solution
Cynthia has 36 square tiles that are each 3 feet wide on a side. How many different rectangular patios can she make with the tiles?
Answer provided by our tutors
we will assume that she is using all the tiles
36 = 2*2*3*3
thus the different rectangular patios will have dimensions:
1 x 36
2 x 18
3 x 12
4 x 9
6 x 6
there are 5 different rectangular patios.
