Question

In 1925, Zbigniew Morón published a rectangle that could be dissected into nine different sized squares as shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the rectangle = 1056 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle published could be dissected into nine different squares with different sizes.

Area of the squares with different measure of sides will be,

For side length = 1 unit

Area of the square = (Side)²

= 1²

= 1 square units

For side length = 4 units

Area of the square = 4² = 16 units²

For side length = 7 units

Area of the square = 7² = 49 units²

For side length = 8 units

Area of the square = 8² = 64 units²

For side length = 9 units

Area of the square = 9² = 81 square units

For side length = 10 units

Area of the square = 10² = 100 square units

For side length = 14 units

Area of the square = 14² = 196 square units

For side length = 15 units

Area of the square = 15² = 225 square units

For side length = 18 units

Area of the square = 18² = 324 square units

Total area of the rectangle by adding these 9 squares

= 1 + 16 + 49 + 64 + 81 + 100 + 196 + 225 + 324

= 1056 square units
