Question

How many square of side 5cm are required to cover a rectangle measuring 55cm and 25 cm

Answer 1

55 squares of side 5 cm are required to cover a rectangle measuring 55 cm and 25 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

each side of the square is 5 cm

Then the area of a square is = 5² cm²

= 25 cm²

Also given that,

sides of the rectangle are 55 cm and 25 cm

Then the area of the rectangle is = 55 * 25 cm²

= 1375 cm²

Hence the number of required squares to cover the rectangle is

= area of the rectangle ÷ area of a square

= 1375 / 25

= 55
