Answer (2)

Given Situation : Jenn used 18 connecting cubes to make a model.
Jenn wants her model to be a rectangle shaped and have the height of 1 cube.
Now, We need to find the numbers of ways will Jenn use her model.
=> First we need to find the factors of 18
=> 18 x 1 equals to 18
=> 9 x 2 equals to 18
=> 6 x 3 equals to 18
As we can see, 18 has 3 possible ways. Therefore, Jenn will have 3 ways to model her triangle depending on the choice she wants.

Jenn can create her model park in 3 different ways, using the rectangular dimensions of 1 x 18, 2 x 9, and 3 x 6. Each pair represents a different arrangement of the 18 cubes. Therefore, the total number of distinct rectangular models is three.
