How many different rectangles are in the figure?
problem
Solution
We start off with large rectangle. Then the horizontal and vertical lines together split the large rectangle into smaller rectangles. In addition, the vertical line by itself splits the large rectangle into rectangles and the horizontal line by itself splits the large rectangle into other rectangles. There are different rectangles in the figure.
Final answer
9
