Count the number of rectangles in the given figure.

20
18
16
15
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The rectangles composed of two components each are HIJE, EKJ,F, FMNG, GPQH, AEOH, EBFO, OFCG and HOGD i.e. 8 in number.

The rectangles composed of four components each are ABFH, BCGE, CDHF, DAEG and EFGH i.e. 5 in number.

The rectangles composed of six components each are IJFG, KLGH, MNHE and PQEF i.e. 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of eight components each are IJMN, KLPQ and ABCD i.e. 3 in number.

Thus, there are 8 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 20 rectangles in the given figure.

(Here note that the squares are also counted amongst rectangles)

I think the answer is 21.

Because All squares are rectangle.

The answer is incorrect as squares are considered as rectangles in this particular solution.

I get that they are rectangles as a rule but why did it say EKJ, F.

Aakash said:   8 years ago
AEOH, EBFO, FCGO and GDHO are squares and not rectangles.

Aren't squares and rectangle different?

But why the squares are counted when a square can be a rectangle only in some aspects not in all.
