How many possible products can Zaria and Maisie roll?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "20*20 = 400 1by1 squares
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is the area of the largest possible rectangle that
\n" ); document.write( "can be drawn during a turn in this game?
\n" ); document.write( "6 by 6 = 36 sq units
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If Zaria rolled a 3 and a 6 on her first turn, how many
\n" ); document.write( "different sized rectangles could she draw?
\n" ); document.write( "6 by 3 or 3 by 6
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is the minimum number of rectangles it could
\n" ); document.write( "possibly take for Zaria and Maisie to completely fill the
\n" ); document.write( "game board?
\n" ); document.write( "6 by 6:: 9 of them
\n" ); document.write( "2 by 6:: 6 of them
\n" ); document.write( "2 by 2:: 1 of them
