Q:

Determine the number of rectangles and hexagons in the following figure.

 A) 30, 5 B) 32, 3 C) 28, 5 D) 30, 3

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown

Rectangles :

The simplest rectangles are CVSR, VETS, RSWM and STKW i.e 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of two components each are CETR, VEKW, RTKM and CVWM i.e 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of three components each are ACRP, PRMO, EGHT and THIK i.e 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of four components each are CEKM, AVSP, PSWO,VGHS and SHIW i.e 5 in number.

The rectangles composed of five components each are AETP, PTKO, CGHR and RHIM i.e 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of six components each are ACMO and EGIK i.e 2 in number.

The rectangles composed of eight components each are AGHP, PHIO, AVWO and VGIW i.e 4 in number.

The rectangles composed of ten components each are AEKO and CGIM i.e 2 in number.

AGIO is the only rectangle having sixteen components

Total number of rectangles in the given figure = 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 30.

Hexagons :

The hexagons in the given figure are CDEKLM, CEUKMQ, CFHJMQ, BEUKNP and BFHJNP. So, there are 5 hexagons in the given figure.
