A game of squares
Geometry
Level
3
I have a cuboid. Each square face has four squares within it. Each rectangular face has 8 squares within it. Overall, how many total squares are there? Bear in mind, each mini square is the same size and is fully covering the side that it is on.
The answer is 54.

There are four squares on each side as well as the whole big square, which makes 8+2=10. Then, 8x4=32. Then, there are 3 bigger squares on each rectangular side, which makes 3x4=12. 32+10+12=54. This is your answer.
