Row:
A row is a group of items arranged horizontally.
Column:
A column is a group of items arranged vertically.
For the given case, there are 8 rows and only 1 column.
8 rows
1 column
To find the total number of squares, multiply the rows and columns
[tex]8\times1=8\; \text{squares}[/tex]
Therefore, there are 8 rows and 1 column, and a total of 8 squares.
Another example:
Rows = 3
Columns = 2
Total squares = 3x2 = 6
