Question

A rectangle has the area of 60 inch2. What can be its dimensions? Copy and fill in the chart.

Answer 1

Answer:

2*30       10*6       1*60   20*3

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 2 numbers that multiplied have a result of 60

Answer 2

Answer:

$width*length\\60*1\\30*2\\20*3\\15*4\\12*5\\10*6$

$length*width\\60*1\\30*2\\20*3\\15*4\\12*5\\10*6$  

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading the question, We can see the area is given by the unit square inch. Since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length times width, then we can say that any pair of non-negative integers whose product is equal to 60 would fit the case.

$A=l*w$

We can find those integer numbers for its dimensions:

(60 divisors)

$width*length\\60*1\\30*2\\20*3\\15*4\\12*5\\10*6$  and vice versa:

$length*width\\60*1\\30*2\\20*3\\15*4\\12*5\\10*6$  

And many other combinations for non integers like

40x1.5, 24x2.5 etc.
