Eleanor and Max used two rectangular pieces of plywood, placed end-to-end, to make a long rectangular stage for the school play. One board was 4 feet long, and the other was 4 1/2 feet long. The two pieces of plywood had equal widths. The total area of the stage was 57 3/8 square feet. What was the width of the plywood?

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.

we would need a picture of the quadrilateral in order to answer the question. also, it seems that the question is missing some components.

your answer is 1,3,5
