Hi,
My question is why are we skipping over the part “Glass sheet edges Parallel to the edges of the table top”?????
Its clear from (1) and (2) that no matter of what combination of edge dimensions for 2400 square inches (60,40) or (100,24) etc, it will never be (36,60) and hence the edges of Glass Sheet will NEVER be parallel to the edges of the Table top, and hence the Answer would be ‘C’ since we can clearly state that from (1) and (2) we can never get a the edges parallel.
