Question

How many squares of area 2 sq. m each can be made out of a rectangle having
an area of 40 m2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Each square has an area of 2m^2

Total area = 40m^2

Therefore, number of squares = 40/2 = 20

Answer 2

Given:

• Area of the smaller square = 2 m²
• Area of the rectangle = 40 m²

To find:

Number of smaller squares that can be made out of square of 40 m² = ?

Solution:

Procedure:

The areas of square and rectangle are known. So, when area of rectangule is divided by area of smaller square we get the number of squares.

Now, let's solve it

Number of squares = Area of rectangle ÷ Area of smaller square

Note:

Kindly don't memorise this as a formula as It will restrict your mind for complex problems. Just visualise the condition.

So,

Number of squares = 40 m² ÷ 2 m²

⇒ Number of squares = 20

∴ 20 squares of 2 m² can be made out of rectangle having area 40 m²
