The dimensions of a rectangle are its length and width. For example, the enclosure for 2 monkeys is 36 square feet and could have five different dimensions: 1 ft x 36 ft, 2 ft x 18 ft, 3 ft x 12 ft, 4 ft x 9 ft, and 6 ft x 6 ft.
The enclosure that holds 6 monkeys has 6 possible sets of dimensions. List all six sets of dimensions for six monkeys.
6 monkeys occupy 3*36 = 108 ft^2
so now just list the pairs of factors of 108
Here are the six possible sets of dimensions for an enclosure that holds 6 monkeys:
- 1 ft x 108 ft
- 2 ft x 54 ft
- 3 ft x 36 ft
- 4 ft x 27 ft
- 6 ft x 18 ft
- 9 ft x 12 ft
Note that any pair of factors of 108 will give a valid set of dimensions, but the length and width may need to be swapped to get a different order.
Don't you love how the bot gets the wrong answer, then after being corrected
posts an answer as if it was its own ???
I apologize if my first response was not helpful. As an AI language model, I can make mistakes but I always try to provide accurate and informative answers. Thank you for correcting me and please let me know if you have any further questions.
I would trust an answer by the real human oobleck over the bot's answer
anytime.
