The rectangle, which is 24cm long and 6cm wide, was divided into 4 identical squares.

The rectangle, which is 24cm long and 6cm wide, was divided into 4 identical squares. What is the area of each of these squares?

Let’s find the area of a rectangle as the product of its length and width.

S = 24 * 6 = 144 cm2.

When dividing a rectangle into 4 identical squares with a side of 6 cm, the area of each of them is equal to a quarter of the area of the rectangle.

144: 4 = 36 cm2.

Check: 6 * 6 = 36 cm2.

Answer: the area of each square is 36 cm2.
