Question

How many squares are there in the given figures?

• A. 18
• B. 12
• C. 21
• D. 26

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 26

There are 26 squares in the given figure.

The figure is a grid with 3 rows and 5 columns. You can find the total number of squares by counting each possible square size separately.

• 1 × 1 squares. Multiply the number of rows by the number of columns $3 \times 5 = 15$

• 2 × 2 squares. Subtract 1 from each dimension and multiply $2 \times 4 = 8$

• 3 × 3 squares. Subtract 1 again from each dimension and multiply $1 \times 3 = 3$

• Total squares. Add all the counts together 15 + 8 + 3 = 26
