Question

A square is made of 6 rows and 6 columns of small squares.
If each small square occupies an area of 2 sq cm, then the area of the square is _____ sq cm.

• A. 18
• B. 36
• C. 72
• D. 108

Answer 1

The correct option is C 72

Since the square is made of 6 rows and 6 columns of squares, the total number of squares inside the square is 36 ( $6\times 6=36$)


Since each square occupies an area of 2 sq cm, the area of the square is $36\times 2\text{sq cm}$
$=72\text{sq cm}.$
