Solution
The side of the square is 1 centimetre.
Following figure shows the possible rectangles using 12 such squares. There are 7 rectangles.
2 rectangles are of size 1×12 centimetre.
1 rectangle is of size 2×6 centimetre.
4 rectangles are of size 3×4 centimetre
Hence, number of rectangles =2+1+4=7
