Question 134685: Hi there,

We were browsing through a folder of our maths teachers, for any challenging maths questions. We arrived at one that had been originally in a popular maths exam, but had no idea how to figure it out in a time-efficient manner. Still, we haven't found the answer and would appreciate any help or an explanation of how you arrived at your answer:

"We say that squares can be packed together to form a 'jagged rectangle' if they fill a rectangular box in the way shown in the diagram. The diagram shows a 6 by 4 jagged rectangle and it contains 39 squares of the same size. In a 9 by 7 jagged rectangle, how many such squares would there be?"

It's quite hard to do the diagram here with such limited keyboard buttons, but if you reply in a confidential email to the given email, we would like to send you an image of this so called "jagged rectangle." Please help us.

Thank you!
