Length of a rectangular sheet = 16cm

Breadth of a rectangular sheet = 12 cm

Area of rectangular sheet = length * breadth = 16 * 12 = 192 cm

In the given rectangular sheet, length < breadth

Therefore maximum length of square can be equal to the length of the rectangular sheet.

So Square of maximum size having side 12 cm can be cut without wasting the sheet.
