Question

form a rectangle sheet of chart paper, measuring 60cm by 40 cm. how many squares of side 2 cm can be made?

Answer 1

Area of rectangle = LENGTH × BREADTH

= 60cm × 40 cm

$= 2400 {cm}^{2}$
Area of each square = side × side
= 2cm × 2cm

$4 {cm}^{2}$
Number of squares


$= \frac{2400{cm}^{2} }{4 {cm}^{2} }$

$= 600$
therefore,

600 squares can be made

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = LENGTH × BREADTH

= 60cm × 40 cm

= 2400 {cm}^{2}=2400cm

2

Area of each square = side × side

= 2cm × 2cm

4 {cm}^{2}4cm

2

Number of squares

= \frac{2400{cm}^{2} }{4 {cm}^{2} }=

4cm

2

2400cm

2

= 600=600

therefore,

600 squares can be made
