Karl needs to build a stage that has an area of 72 square feet. The length of the stage should be longer than the width. What are the possible whole number measurements for the length and width of the stage?
Since the length is longer than the width, its a rectangle. The possible combinations are: 1 x 72 = 72 2 x 36 = 72 3 x 24 = 72 4 x 18 = 72 6 x 12 = 72 8 x 9 = 72 9 x 8 = 72 12 x 6 = 72 18 x 4 = 72 24 x 3 = 72 36 x 2 = 72 72 x 1 = 72
