Question

(a) Into how many squares of side 2 cm each can you divide a rectangle of length 8 cm
and breadth 4 cm?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

area of rectangle =8*4=32sqcm

area of square of side 2cm=2*2==4sq.cm

number of square which could be filled in 32 sq.cm=32/4=8squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given:

• Side of square = 2 cm
• Length of rectangle = 8 cm
• Breadth of rectangle = 4 cm

To find:

• Number of squares of the given side that can be divided from a rectangle of the given dimensions.

Solution:

We know that,

$\boxed {\mathfrak {\red {Area\ of\ rectangle = l \times b}}}$

Substitute the values,

Area of rectangle = 8 × 4

Area of rectangle = 32 cm²

Now, we know,

$\boxed {\mathfrak {\pink {Area\ of\ square = s^{2}}}}$

Substitute the values,

Area of square = 2²

Area of square = 4 cm²

Number of squares that can be divided from the rectangle = $\sf \dfrac {Area\ of\ rectangle}{Area\ of\ square}$

= $\sf \dfrac {32}{4}$

= 8 squares

Final answer:

Thus, the rectangle can be divided into 8 squares.
