Preetha and Adrit's grandmother is making another square patchwork. She arranges the patches as shown below. Can you guess how many patches she will need? How did you find it?

Correct Answer

Method: The number of patches can be found by multiplying the number of rows by the number of patches in each row.

Example: If there are 6 rows of 4 patches each: Total patches = 6×46 \times 4 = 24 patches

Connection: This is the same as finding the area using Length × Breadth.

Explanation

The chapter explains that instead of counting each patch individually, we can multiply rows by columns. For a rectangular arrangement with 6 rows and 4 columns, there are 6×46 \times 4 = 24 patches. This connects to the formula: Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Count the number of rows

  2. Step 2: Count the number of patches in each row (columns)

  3. Step 3: Multiply: Number of patches = Rows × Columns
