Question

Adama and his dad are building a tree house. They buy enough flooring material to cover the area of 36 square feet. What are all the possible dimensions of the floor?

Answer 1

I have worked out the problem on this whiteboard for your review. Since the area of a space is the length x width, you will need to find all pairs of multiples that equal 36. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Take care

Answer 2

2 x 18 = 36

3 x 12 = 36

4 x 9 = 36

6 x 6 = 36

And that is just some of the whole numbers!
