Question

16) Four squares are drawn on the four sides of
a rectangle whose length is 4 cm and
breadth is 3 cm. What is the total area of the
four squares and the rectangle?​

Answer 1

Area of rectangle is 12 cm3

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

Answer 2

Answer:

62 sq. cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth = 4 x 3 = 12 sq. cm

Since four squares are drawn on 4 sides of the rectangle, two of the squares will have side as 4 cm, and other two will have side as 3 cm.

Thus,

Square 1 area = 4 x 4 = 16 sq. cm

Square 2 area = 3 x 3 = 9 sq. cm

Total Area of the figure = Area of rectangle + (2 x Square1 area) + (2 x Square2 area)

= 12 + (2 x 16) + (2 x 9)

= 12 + 32 + 18

= 62 sq. cm
