Sunroom
A sunroom is a glass-enclosed room. Adding a sunroom to a home is an affordable
way to increase living space. The construction of a sunroom usually costs much
less than the construction of a conventional addition. A sunroom enhances the
appearance and increases the value of a home.
In Exercises 1–4, use the following information.
Lesson 4.1
Derek found 36 glass panels. Each panel is 3 feet wide and 4 feet long. He is
adding a rectangular sunroom to his house using each panel to form the ceiling.
The different sizes of sunrooms he can build are at least 9 feet in length and
width. He will orient the long side of all 36 panels in the same direction. What
approximate room sizes are possible? (Ignore the seam widths between panels
and the fact that the ceiling slopes downward slightly.)
1p ; 2 p 18;
1. Write 36 as a product of two whole 3p ; p ;6p
numbers in all possible ways.
2. Use the pairs of factors to describe each possible rectangular arrangement
of the glass panels as a number of panel widths by a number of panel
lengths. (For example, 1 panel 36 panels.)
3. Find the dimensions in feet of each rectangular arrangement of the glass
panels found in Exercise 2.
