Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 9
This square is a 2 x 2 grid.
There are 4 rectangles comprising of 2 squares each, 2 horizontal and 2 vertical.
Since all squares are considered to be rectangles, with sides of equal length,
we can consider the 4 small squares in the 2 x 2 grid to be 4 rectangles.
The 2 x 2 grid is a square ,which is also considered to be a rectangle.
Hence, the total number of rectangles in a 2 x2 grid = 4 + 4 +1 = 9
