set24--Q.8--Tabletop

by prachich1987 » Tue Dec 14, 2010 10:30 pm
Can a certain rectangular sheet of glass be positioned on a rectangular tabletop so that it covers the entire tabletop and its edges are parallel to the edges of the tabletop?

(1) The tabletop is 36 inches wide by 60 inches long.
(2) The area of one side of the sheet of glass is 2400 square inches.

� Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient
� Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient
� BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE
is sufficient.
� EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
� Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient

we don't know the dimensions of glass
so I think Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient
