You have several 5x11 rectangles, using only these rectangles, what can you make?

A) 39x54 rectangle?

B) a 39x55 rectangle?

Plz help my parents are at work and sisters are doing homework, I'm 9 help!!! ( math due tomorrow!! )

The answer could be B) I honestly tried and estemaited :)

Hello! I'd be happy to help you out with your math problem.

To determine what can be made using only 5x11 rectangles, we need to calculate the area of the given rectangles. The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width.

A) To make a 39x54 rectangle, we have to see if it is possible to combine the 5x11 rectangles to form this shape.

If we divide the length of the 39x54 rectangle by the length of a single 5x11 rectangle (39 ÷ 5), we get 7.8. Since we can't have a fraction of a rectangle, it is not possible to create a 39x54 rectangle using only 5x11 rectangles.

B) Next, let's check if it is possible to make a 39x55 rectangle using the 5x11 rectangles.

If we divide the length of the 39x55 rectangle by the length of a single 5x11 rectangle (39 ÷ 5), we get 7.8. Again, we can't have a fraction of a rectangle. However, if we divide the width of the 39x55 rectangle by the width of a single 5x11 rectangle (55 ÷ 11), we get 5.

This means we can align 5 of the 5x11 rectangles vertically to make a total width of 55 units. To determine the length of the resulting shape, we multiply the number of rectangles used (5) by the length of a single rectangle (5 x 11 = 55). Since this matches the length of the given rectangle, it is possible to make a 39x55 rectangle using only 5x11 rectangles.

So, the answer is B) a 39x55 rectangle is possible to make using the 5x11 rectangles.

I hope this explanation helps you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with your math homework!
