Question

An office and apartment building is made up of modules. Each module is a rectangular

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)10 modules per floor

(b)Two different rectangular prism

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Number of modules=130

Number of stories=13

Since all of the modules were divided evenly among the number of stories:

Number of module per floor =130÷13=10 modules per floor

There would be 10 modules on each floor.

Part B

Next, we determine how many different rectangular prisms could be made from the number 10 derived above.

Step 1: List the factors of 10

Factors of 10 are: 1,2,5 and 10

Step 2:

Form a product of three terms which equals 10 using the factors derived above. We have two possible combinations:

• 10×1×1
• 2×5×1

Therefore, two different rectangular prisms could be made from the number of modules on each floor.
