draw a 5cm x 5cm grid in your homework book. your task is to break the grid up into rectangles of the correct size. your grid must contain 6 x 2cm rectangles, 3 x 3cm rectangles and 1 x 4cm rectangle (or square) how do i do this??
It is impossible to have a 6x2 rectangle on a 5x5 grid.
it is impossible
To break the grid into rectangles of the correct size, follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a 5cm x 5cm grid in your homework book. Divide the length and width of the grid into equal segments, creating a total of 25 smaller squares (each measuring 1cm x 1cm).
2. To create the 6 x 2cm rectangles, you need to find six pairs of adjacent squares. Begin by locating the first square from the top left corner and count two squares horizontally. This will be the top left corner of your first 2cm x 1cm rectangle. Repeat this process until you have six rectangles.
3. For the 3 x 3cm rectangles, you need to find three squares in a row horizontally. Begin again at the top left corner and locate the first square. Count three squares horizontally from there, ensuring they are all consecutive. This will be the top left corner of your first 3cm x 3cm rectangle. Repeat this process until you have three rectangles.
4. Finally, to create the 1 x 4cm rectangle (or square), locate a 4cm x 4cm square in the grid. Begin at the top left corner and count four squares horizontally and vertically. This will be the top left corner of your 4cm x 4cm rectangle (or square).
Remember to use a ruler or straight edge to ensure accuracy when drawing the lines and rectangles.
