In my dining room, I have a triangular table which has sides of 62, 37, and 24 inches. I also have napkins which measure 6 inches square. How many napkins will it take to completely cover the table ?

can you unfold the napkins?
or do they have to stay as they are?

You can make them into sailboats if you like.

can i just do that and someone else can figure it out then?

what i was trying to say was could you unfold one napkin to increase its area 2 or even 4 times?

Certainly. I&#39;m not being sarcastic, by the way, it was more of a hint than anything. For example, you can turn the napkins back into pulp if you like.

answer them all in one post, let others have

Leslie and Lorna have the same parents.
Leslie and Lorna exactly alike.
Leslie and Lorna are the same age,
yet they are not twins.
How is this possible?
