Question

How many rectangle 5cm multiply 2cm
Can fits in a square that has one side 10cm long

Answer 1

10 rectangles can fit in the square that has one side 10 cm long.

Explanation:

Given:

Rectangle 5 cm multiply 2 cm .

Square that has one side 10cm long.

Now, to find the number of rectangle that can fits in the square.

So, for getting the number of rectangle we need to get the area first:

Area of rectangle as given 5 cm multiply 2 cm :

`5\ cm* 2\ cm=10\ cm^2`

Then the area of square as given side is 10 cm:

Area of square = (side)²

`Area\ of\ square=10^2`

`Area\ of\ square=100\ cm^2`

Now, for getting the number of rectangle we divide the area of square by area of rectangle:

Number of rectangle = Area of square ÷ Area of rectangle

`Number\ of\ rectangle=100\ cm^2/ 10\ cm^2`

`Number\ of\ rectangle=10.`

Therefore, 10 rectangles can fit in the square that has one side 10 cm long.
