Question

Find the total number of squares using repeated addition.

• A. 21
• B. 12
• C. 15
• D. 18

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12

For rows:
Each row has 3 squares and there is a total of 4 rows.
Total squares = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 or 4 x 3 = 12 squares.

For columns:
Each column has 4 squares and there are 3 columns.
Total squares = 4 + 4 + 4 or 3 x 4 = 12 squares.
