Question

Students in an art class cut colored paper into equal-sized squares. The paper measures 6 cm by 12 cm and they do not want to waste any of it. What is the greatest possible side length for each square piece?

Answer 1

The greatest possible side length for each square piece is 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The paper measures 6 cm by 12 cm. To find the greatest possible side length for each square piece, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two dimensions. The GCD of 6 and 12 is 6. Therefore, the greatest possible side length for each square piece is 6 cm.

Answer 2

the greatest possible side length is 24 square piece
