Count the number of rectangles in the given figure.
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)

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.

AEOH, EBFO, FCGO and GDHO are squares and not rectangles.

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