A total of 364 paper straws of equal length were used to construct two types of polygons: triangles and rectangles. The triangles and rectangles were constructed so that no two polygons had a common side. The equation $3x+4y=364$ represents this situation, where $x$ is the number of triangles constructed and $y$ is the number of rectangles constructed. What is the best interpretation of $(x,y)=(24,73)$ in this context?
