Answer 1

12 sq cm

Explanation:

Answer 2

The value of N is 12 sq cm.

Explanation:

1. Find the greatest common factor of 35 and 42 to find the length (horizontal). The GCF is 7.

2. The horizontal length of the 35 and 42 sq cm is 7, and the heights are 5 and 6 respectively.

3. Moving on tot he 10 sq cm rectangle, since the height of just that one rectangle is and 10/5 is 2, the horizontal length is 2.

4. For n, the horizontal length is 2 and the height is 6. 2 X 6 is 12 sq cm.
