<h3>
The given statement is not true. </h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the initial area of the sheet = 450 sq inches.
After folding the sheet in to thirds ONCE :
The area of the each rectangle so formed = = 150 sq. inches
So, the area of each rectangle = 150 sq inches
After folding the sheet in to thirds TWICE :
The area of the each rectangle so formed = = 50 sq. inches
So, the area of each rectangle = 50 sq inches
So, as we can see after two rounds of folding, we get in total 9 rectangles.
The area of each rectangle so formed = 50 sq inches.
50 sq inches = of the total area.
Hence, the given statement is not true.
