Answer 1

Answer:

L=1 ft and B=84 ft

L=2 ft and B=42 ft

L=4ft and B=21ft

L=6ft and B=14 ft

L=7ft and B=12ft

L=12 ft and B=7ft

L=14ft and B=6 ft

L=21 ft and B=4 ft

L=42 ft and B=2 ft

L=84 ft and B=1 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Area of rectangular floor=84 square feet

We have to find the possible length and width of for Angelo's clubhouse.

Area of rectangle=$length\times breadth$

Using the formula

Area of rectangular floor for clubhouse=84 square feet

$Length(L)\times breadth(B)=84$

Factor of 84 are

1,2,4,6,7,12,14,21,42,84

Therefore,  possible dimension of rectangular floor

$1ft\times 84ft,2ft\times 42ft,4ft\times 21ft,6ft\times 14ft,7ft\times 12ft,12ft\times 7ft,14ft\times 6ft,21ft\times 4ft,42ft\times 2ft,84ft\times 1ft$

L=1 ft and B=84 ft

L=2 ft and B=42 ft

L=4ft and B=21ft

L=6ft and B=14 ft

L=7ft and B=12ft

L=12 ft and B=7ft

L=14ft and B=6 ft

L=21 ft and B=4 ft

L=42 ft and B=2 ft

L=84 ft and B=1 ft
