How many squares with a side equal to 3cm can be cut from a rectangle with sides equal to 9cm and 5cm?

How many squares with a side equal to 3cm can be cut from a rectangle with sides equal to 9cm and 5cm? What area is the quadrilateral left in the remainder?

To solve this problem, recall the formula for the area of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its length and width. S = a * b, where a is the length and b is the width. We calculate the area of a rectangle with sides of 9 centimeters and 5 centimeters.

S = 9 * 5 = 45 sq. Cm.

Let’s calculate the area of a square with a side of 3 cm. The area of a square is equal to the square of its side. S = a ^ 2.

S = 3 * 3 = 9 sq. Cm.

Let’s calculate how many squares fit in a rectangle.

45/9 = 5 squares.

Answer: 5 squares.
