In a rectangle of dimensions 24cm x 48cm, how many squares of side 6cm can be placed?
Answers
Given:
The dimensions of the rectangle = 24 cm * 48 cm
Length of the side of a square = 6 cm
To find:
the number of squares that could be placed in the rectangle.
Solution:
The area of the rectangle will be : 24*48 cm² = 1152 cm²
Area of one square = 6*6 cm² = 36 cm²
The number of squares that can be placed in the rectangle will be :
1152 / 36 = 32
Therefore the number of squares of side 6 cm that can be placed in the rectangle of dimensions 24 cm * 48 cm is 32.
MENSURATION
Given :-
- A rectangle of dimensions 24cm x 48 cm.
- A square of side 6 cm.
To Find :-
How many such squares can be placed in this rectangle?
Solution :-
In order to find out the number of squares which can be placed in the rectangle, we need to calculate the area of rectangle and square respectively.
Area of rectangle = length * breadth
= 24 * 48
= 1152 cm²
Area of square = (side)²
= 6 * 6
= 36 cm²
No. of squares which can be placed in the rectangle = Area of rectangle/Area of square
= 1152 cm² / 36 cm²
= 32
⇒ 32 squares of side 6 cm can be placed in the rectangle of dimensions 24cm x 48 cm.
