Answer 1

Answer:

A(s) = 1/16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither of them are correct

If we have a rectangle,  and divide  into 4 equals rows    ( by means of three horizontal lines ) we will get 4 rectangles each of which have 1/4 of total area. If after that we get 4 squares in each row the area of each of these squares is 1/4 of the area we got when dividing the rectangle with our three lines of the first case, therefore the area of each final square is:

A(s) = (1/4)/(1/4)

A(s) = 1/16 square units
