How many squares of size 2cm each can be obtained from a rectangle of length 27cm and breadth 8th?

1 answer

To find the number of squares of size 2cm that can be obtained from a rectangle of length 27cm and breadth 8cm, we need to calculate the maximum number of squares that can fit in both the length and breadth of the rectangle.

For the length:
27 cm / 2 cm = 13.5 squares
Since we cannot have a fraction of a square, the maximum number of squares that can fit in the length is 13.

For the breadth:
8 cm / 2 cm = 4 squares

Therefore, the maximum number of squares of size 2cm that can be obtained from the rectangle is 13 x 4 = 52 squares.
