Answer 1

Given:

In how many ways, 48 small squares of 1 cm x 1 cm can be arranged so that the resulting area is 48 cm²?

Solution:

1 x 48 = 48

2 x 24 = 48

3 x 16 = 48

4 x 12 = 48

6 x 8 = 48

So, there are 5 ways.

Hence, in 5 ways, 48 small squares of 1 cm x 1 cm can be arranged so that the resulting area is 48 cm².
