Step-by-Step Solution

When the length and breadth of a rectangle are equal (both 25 cm here), it is a special rectangle called a square. So yes, the tile is a square.

Answer: A) It is a square, because all four sides are equal.

Area measures how much flat space a shape covers. The unit is a **square** of side 1 — so

cm^{2}

(square centimetres),

m^{2}

(square metres), etc. To measure the area of a rectangle visually, imagine covering it with 1-cm squares: count them. A rectangle 5 cm by 3 cm holds

5 \times 3 = 15

little squares, so its area is

15 cm^{2}

. The general formula is the same idea: area of rectangle =

l \times b
