Question

• Elina had 10 tiles to arrange in a rectangular design. She drew a

model of the rectangles she could make with the ten tiles.

Answer 1

She can make 7.03 tiles

Answer 2

There are four possible rectangles with 10 tiles.

Explanation:

The question for this problem is: How many different rectangles could she make with the 10 tiles?

All the dimensions possible are all products that give 10 as a result. So, all possible rectangles would be:

2 width x 5 length = 10

5 width x 2 length = 10

1 width x 10 length = 10

10 width x 1 length = 10
