Question

Squares each of area 2 sq cm are joined to form rectangles. Match the rectangles formed to their areas.

• A. 16 sq cm
• B. 32 sq cm
• C. 48 sq cm

Answer 1

Each square occupies an area of 2 sq cm.

$\therefore$The area of the rectangle formed by joining 8 such squares is given by

$8\times 2\text{sq cm}=16\text{sq cm}.$

Similarly, the area of the rectangle formed from 16 squares

$16\times 2\text{sq cm}=32\text{sq cm}.$

Lastly, the area of the rectangle formed from 24 squares

$24\times 2\text{sq cm}=48\text{sq cm}.$
