Final answer:

The number of full sheets of 4' x 8' plywood needed for the rectangular subfloor can be calculated by dividing the area of the subfloor by the area of one sheet of plywood.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the number of full sheets of 4' x 8' plywood needed for the rectangular subfloor, we need to divide the area of the subfloor by the area of one sheet of plywood.

The area of the subfloor is 32' x 72' = 2304 square feet. The area of one sheet of plywood is 4' x 8' = 32 square feet. Therefore, the number of full sheets of plywood needed is 2304 square feet / 32 square feet = 72 sheets.



Answer: 72 sheets (which is not among the given options).
