Question

How many rectangles are present in the given figure?

The correct answer is
10

To determine how many rectangles are present in the given figure, we need to count all possible rectangles formed by the intersections of lines.

  1. Identify the grid created by the lines. In this image, we can see multiple lines intersecting to create squares and rectangles.
  2. Remember, a rectangle is formed by selecting two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. The space between these lines forms a rectangle.
  3. Count the rectangles formed by:
    • Single Cells: Count the smallest rectangles formed by individual squares in the grid.
    • Combinations of Cells: Larger rectangles that encompass multiple smaller squares or parts of squares.
  4. Begin counting:
    • 1 square in each of the corner sections.
    • Multiple rectangles across the center, formed by merging smaller grid sections.

After careful analysis, the number of rectangles in the figure is counted as follows:

  • There are 4 small rectangles forming individual squares at the corners.
  • 4 larger rectangles formed along each column and row intersecting.
  • 2 rectangles formed by combining all smaller rectangles in the center part.

 

Total Number of Rectangles: 10

Therefore, the correct answer is 10.
