you have 6 pieces of wood 2-8in,2-6in,2-4in to make a rectangle picture frame using 4 pieces of wood how many frames can you make? (rectangle frames)
Would it be 2?
Since a frame requires four sides/pieces of wood, you could only make one.
To determine the number of rectangle frames you can make using the given pieces of wood, we need to consider the dimensions of the wood and the requirements for a rectangle frame.
A rectangle frame requires four pieces of wood, with two pairs of equal lengths. In this case, you have six pieces of wood:
- 2 pieces of wood measuring 8 inches
- 2 pieces of wood measuring 6 inches
- 2 pieces of wood measuring 4 inches
To create a rectangle frame, you need two pairs of equal lengths. Let's consider the possible combinations:
1. Using the 8-inch pieces: You can pair them together to form one pair with a length of 8 inches.
2. Using the 6-inch pieces: You can pair them together to form one pair with a length of 6 inches.
3. Using the 4-inch pieces: You can pair them together to form one pair with a length of 4 inches.
Therefore, you can create one rectangle frame with each combination. In total, you can make three rectangle frames using the given pieces of wood.
