Solution
The side of the square is 1 centimetre.
The following figure shows the possible rectangles using 12 such squares.
There are 7 rectangles.
- 2 rectangles are of size 1 × 12 centimetres.
- 1 rectangle is of size 2 × 6 centimetres.
- 4 rectangles are of size 3 × 4 centimetre
Hence, number of rectangles
