The number of rectangles of different sizes can be formed from 36 identical rectangles is 5
<h3>Number of rectangles</h3>
From the question, we have proofs of;
Total number of identical squares = 36
Now, let the measurement of the side of each square be 1 unit
We have that the formula for area of a square is;
Area of a square = Side × Side square units
We have the area of the square to be;
Area of each square = 1×1 = 1 square units
This is so because the rectangles are identical both in length and width
Let's find the area of the identical squares
Area of total 36 identical squares
= 36×1 square units
= 36 square units
So Area of the rectangle = length × breadth square units
if the rectangles are formed from 36 identical squares then their areas are the same
Total area of required rectangles = 36 square units
It can be written as;
36 = length × breadth
(1,36) , (2,18),(3,12),(4,9),(6,6) are the different rectangles formed from 36 identical squares
Total rectangles = 5
Thus, the number of rectangles of different sizes can be formed from 36 identical rectangles is 5
