Question

What is the area (in sq units) of a rectangle formed by 8 squares if each square occupies an area of 2 sq units?

• A. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is A 16


Whichever way the 8 squares are arranged to form to form the rectangle, the area of the rectangle is the sum of the areas of all the squares in it.

Number of squares = 8

Area occupied by each square = 2 sq units

$\therefore \text{Area of the rectangle}=8\times 2\text{sq units}$
$=16\text{sq units}$
