Answer:
Given below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) if we look at the picture then we can find by counting the square units. In each box there are 3.5 square units along the breadth. There are 3 square units along the length . Counting these gives (3*3.5= 10.5 ) 10.5 square units for each box. Adding the 10.5 +10.5+10.5+10.5 = 42 square units gives the area of the inner rectangle.
b) There are 4 boxes and the total area of the these boxes will be 4*10.5= 42 square units.
Area of 1 box = 3*3.5= 10.5
c) The area of the outer rectangle = 8*12= 96 square units.
The area between the two rectangles along the breadth = 3*7= 21 of one side.
The area between the two sides along the length = 6*1= 6 square units.
Subtracting 21+21+6+6= 54 from 96 gives 42 square units
d) Area= length *breadth
= 6* 7= 42 square units.
Hence by all four methods the total area remains the same.
