The length of a rectangular room is 4 meters. If it can be partitioned into two equal square rooms. What is the length of each partition in meters:________?
Correct answer: B. 2
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 4
- D. Data Inadequate
Explanation
Two equal square rooms placed along the 4 m length each occupy half that length, so each square has side 4 m ÷ 2 = 2 m. The required partition length is therefore 2 m; option a, 1 m, would divide the length into four parts instead of two.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
