Answer 1

The area of the rug measures 96 square feet what could the length and width of the rug be

To find this answer, you want to find the factor pairs of 96

For example:

1x96

2x48

3x32

4x24

Keep going until you find all the factors of 96

Answer 2

Area is found by multiplying the length by the width of a surface.

Given the area of 94 square feet, there can be many possibilities for the length and width of the rug.

We know that L X W= 96.

By listing the factors of 96 we can find all of the possibilities (whole numbers).

For example:

1 X 96= 96

2 X 48= 96

3 X 32= 96

4 X 24= 96

6 X 16= 96

You will continue this process, deciding if 96 is divisible by each number.

Answer 3

There are an infinite number of possibilities however, here are a few:

Length Width Area (Length x Width)

1 ft 96 ft 96 sq ft

2 ft 48 ft 96 sq ft

3 ft 32 ft 96 sq ft

4 ft 24 ft 96 sq ft

6 ft 16 ft 96 sq ft

8 ft 12 ft 96 sq ft

12 ft 8 ft 96 sq ft

16 ft 6 ft 96 sq ft

24 ft 4 ft 96 sq ft

32 ft 3 ft 96 sq ft

48 ft 2 ft 96 sq ft

96 ft 1 ft 96 sq ft
