Jenn will use 18 connecting cubes to make a model of a park. The model will b in the shape of a rectangle and will have the height of one cube. In how many different ways can Jenn make the model of the park ?

How many pairs of factors of 18 can you find

What if your choses are 1,2 3 or 17.

What will be the answer then?

To find out how many different ways Jenn can make the model of the park, we need to calculate the number of combinations of the connecting cubes.

Given that the model is in the shape of a rectangle and has a height of one cube, this means that the number of cubes used for the width will be 18 - 1 = 17 cubes.

To calculate the number of combinations, we will use combinatorial mathematics. The formula for calculating combinations is:

C(n, r) = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)

where n is the total number of cubes (17 in this case), r is the number of cubes used in each combination (also 17 in this case), and ! denotes the factorial operation.

By substituting the values into the combination formula, we get:

C(17, 17) = 17! / (17! * (17-17)!)

Since any number divided by itself is always 1, we can simplify the equation to:

C(17, 17) = 1

Therefore, there is only one way for Jenn to make the model of the park using the 18 connecting cubes.
