Question

From a rectangular cardboard, 36 square of side 1 cm can be cut off. What are the possible lands and with in centimetres, if both are to be natural numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

(1,36), (2,18), (3,12) , (4,9) ,(6,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of total rectangle in all cases = 36

Therefore, if the length = x

Breadth = y

xy = 36.

Possible ways of writing 36 as a product of two of its factors = (1,36), (2,18), (3,12) , (4,9) ,(6,6)

Hence the possible lands are the ones mentioned above.
