Q.1 Each of the following rectangles of length 6 cm and breadth 4 cm is composed of congruent polygons. Find the area of each polygon.
The total area of rectangle
i) The first rectangle is divided into 6 equal parts. So the area of each part will be one-sixth of the total area
ii) The rectangle is divided into 4 equal parts, area of each part= one-forth area of rectangle= 6 cm2
iii) and (iv) are divided into two equal parts. Area of each part will be one half the total area of rectangle= 12 cm2
v) Area of rectangle is divided into 8 equal parts. Area of one part is one-eighth of the total area of rectangle = 3 cm2
