Problema Solution
In the school art room the students use
square tables. Each side of a table is 412 ft.
If some of the tables are placed endto-
end, they form a rectangle with a
perimeter of 36 ft. How many tables
are used to make the rectangle?
Answer provided by our tutors
Side of each square table =4.5ft.
Perimeter of rectangle formed with square tables =36ft.
Total length of rectangle formed =36-2*4.5
=27ft.
Length on each side =27/2
=13.5 ft.
Number of tables =13.5/4.5
=3.
