The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length x width.
Since Terry's rectangle is made up of two congruent squares, the length and width are equal. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is the same as the area of one of the squares squared.
If the side length of the square is 15.2 cm, then the area of one square is:
15.2 cm x 15.2 cm = 231.04 cm^2.
Since Terry's rectangle is made up of two congruent squares, the total area of the rectangle is:
2 x 231.04 cm^2 = 462.08 cm^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 462.08 cm^2.
