Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50
= 2 x 25
= 5 x 10
= 1 x 50
but since you wanted a rectangular arrangement, the 1 x 50 would
form a straight line, so I would reject that
Furthermore, if the 5 x 10 and the 10 x 5 would be facing you, they
would not be the same rectangular arrangement,
My answer would be 4 possible arrangements.
The 50 cannot be arranged as a square since √50 is not a whole number.
If you set one player aside, then you could form a 7 x 7 square.
