How do you draw all possible distinct area models for 49?

Answer 1

To draw all possible distinct area models for 49, you can represent it as a rectangle where one side is the factor and the other side corresponds to the quotient. The factors of 49 are 1, 7, and 49, leading to three distinct area models: a 1 by 49 rectangle, a 7 by 7 square, and a 49 by 1 rectangle. Each model visually demonstrates the multiplication of these factor pairs to show that they equal 49. You can draw these rectangles with appropriate dimensions to illustrate the different area representations.
