Answer: He needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of first wood = 108 cm

Length of second wood = 72 cm

We need to find the greatest length so that he can make the shelves.

Greatest length = h.c.f. of 108 and 72 { 36 cm.

Hence, he needs 36 cm to make the shelves.

Answer:

36 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must find the Greatest common factor.

2. List the prime factor of 108 and 72:

108:(2)(2)(3)(3)(3)=(2^{2})(3^{3})\\ 72:(2)(2)(2)(3)(3)=(2^{3})(3^{2})

3. Now, you must choose the common prime numbers with the lowest exponents and multiply them:

(2^{2})(3^{2})=(4)(9)=36
