Solution

To find the maximum number of rectangles and squares that can be formed, we need to use the formula for combinations of lines.

For rectangles: The number of rectangles that can be formed by 4 horizontal and 4 vertical lines is given by the formula n(n-1)/2 * m(m-1)/2, where n is the number of horizontal lines and m is the number of vertical lines.

So, substituting the given values, we get: 4(4-1)/2 * 4(4-1)/2 = 32/2 * 32/2 = 9 rectangles.

For squares: The number of squares that can be formed by 4 horizontal and 4 vertical lines is given by the formula (n-1)(m-1), where n is the number of horizontal lines and m is the number of vertical lines.

So, substituting the given values, we get: (4-1)(4-1) = 3*3 = 9 squares.

Therefore, the maximum number of rectangles and squares that can be formed by 4 horizontal and 4 vertical lines is 9 + 9 = 18.
