Question 165104: A Rectangle with integer side lengths has perimeter 10. What is the greatest number of these rectangles that can be cut from a piece of paper with widht 24 and length 60? Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are on 2 possible rectangles that have a perimeter of 10, 3x2 and 4x1.
4x1 has the smaller area (4) so it is the one we use.
60*24=1440
1440/4=360 rectangles can be cut.
