Solution: 3 2 × 3 3
The area of the rectangle is
1 + 1 6 + 4 9 + 6 4 + 8 1 + 1 0 0 + 1 9 6 + 2 2 5 + 3 2 4 = 1 0 5 6 = 2 5 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 1 1
To assemble the rectangle we must locate the square on side 18, the sides of the rectangle must measure at least 18.
The possible dimensions are 4 8 × 2 2 , 3 2 × 3 3 or 2 4 × 4 4 . If you have a side of 24, when you put the square of 18 there are 6 left and you can not follow it. If you have a side of 22, after putting the square of 18 there are 4 left, putting the square of 4, below this is a gap that can not be filled. Then, the dimensions of the rectangle formed is 3 2 × 3 3 , a configuration is given by the following figure.
