P=2x+2y, y=(p-2x)/2
a=xy, using y found above in this equation gives you:
a=(px-2x^2)/2 we are told a=12 and p=16 so
12=(16x-2x^2)/2
24=16x-2x^2
2x^2-16x+24=0
2x^2-12x-4x+24=0
2x(x-6)-4(x-6)=0
(2x-4)(x-6)=0
2(x-2)(x-6)=0
So the table is 2 ft by 6 ft.
4+1, 3+2, 2+3, 1+4. 4 total combinations, unless 4+1 and 1+4 are the same. In that case, there are only 2, 1+4, and 2+3
Use 6 triangles then 2 square so you will only be using a total of 4 square and 12 triangles
