you have 6pieces of wood, you have to put them together to make a picture frame two pieces are 8in long,two are 6in long and two are 4in long. Using 4 of the pieces how many rectangle picture frames can you make?
Would it be two?
8/6, 8/4, 6/4 make how many different frames?
If you can only use 4 pieces how can you get more than one frame??
Thanks.
You cannot make more than one frame with 6 pieces, but you can make one frame from more than one choice.
I believe this is the intention of the question, namely, how many possible choices of frames can you make out of 6 pieces.
To determine the number of rectangle picture frames that can be made using the given pieces of wood, we need to consider the dimensions of each side of the frames. In this case, a rectangle picture frame requires two longer sides and two shorter sides.
Given that you have two pieces measuring 8 inches, two measuring 6 inches, and two measuring 4 inches, we can combine them in different ways to form rectangle frames.
Let's go through the possible combinations:
1. Using the two 8-inch pieces as longer sides and two 6-inch pieces as shorter sides, we can form one rectangle frame.
2. Using the two 8-inch pieces as longer sides and two 4-inch pieces as shorter sides, we can form a second rectangle frame.
3. Using the two 6-inch pieces as longer sides and two 4-inch pieces as shorter sides, we can form another rectangle frame.
Therefore, you can make a total of three rectangle picture frames using the given pieces of wood.
