Terry made the rectangle below with two congruent squares. What is the area of Terry’s rectangle in square centimeters? (1 point) Responses 231.04 cm2 231.04 cm2 91.2 cm2 91.2 cm2 462.08 cm2 462.08 cm2 645.24 cm2 645.24 cm2
The area of the rectangle can be calculated by adding the areas of the two congruent squares.
Let the side length of each square be x. Then, the area of one square is x^2. Since there are two congruent squares, the total area of the rectangle is 2x^2.
Since x is the side length of the square, it is also the height of the rectangle. The other side of the rectangle is twice the side length of the square, so it is 2x.
Overall, the area of the rectangle is 2x^2 * 2x = 4x^3
Without additional information, we cannot calculate the exact value of x. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact area of the rectangle.

Since we do not have a specific value for the side length x, we are unable to determine the area in square centimeters. The area will vary depending on the size of the squares. If you have additional information or measurements, please provide them so a precise calculation can be made.
My apologies for the oversight. Let's attempt to find the area of Terry's rectangle.
Given that Terry made the rectangle with two congruent squares, this means that the sides of the squares are also the dimensions of the rectangle.
Let's assume that the side length of each square (and consequently the dimensions of the rectangle) is x.
The area of a square is calculated by squaring the side length. Therefore, the area of one square is x^2.
Since there are two congruent squares, the total area of the rectangle can be found by adding the areas of the two squares:
Total area = 2 * Area of one square
Total area = 2 * x^2
Total area = 2x^2 square units
Therefore, the area of Terry's rectangle is 2x^2 square units.
Without knowing the value of x, we cannot provide a specific numerical answer, so the answer choices provided in the question are not directly applicable in this case.
