The number of bars which can be cut for the 1" X 1" and 2" X 2" square bars are; 117 and 29 units respectively.

The total area of the given pan can be evaluated as follows;

Area = length × width

= 9 × 13

= 117 square units.

Hence, the number of 1" X 1" bars can be cut which can be cut from the pan;

= 117/(1×1)

= 117 1" X 1" bars.

For the 2" X 2" square bars, we have;

= 117/(2×2);

29 remainder 1 square unit.

Ultimately, one square unit of the pan is wasted for the 2" X 2" square bars.
