Answer: 16 small squares

why?
since this is a square mosaic, all four sides have equal numbers of glass squares
if you think about one glass square as one unit, the scenario can be considered through the equation 256=x^{2} -- where x is the number of glass squares per side ( remember, area of square = x^{2} )
so, to solve the equation, you find the square root of 256, which is 16!

~hope it makes sense~

To do this, you got to square 256.

The square root of 256 is 16.

Therefore, there are 16 small squares on each edge of the mosaic.

Kinda proof:

o  o  o  o  O

25 squares. Square root is 5. 5 along each edge. My work shares same concept.

Extremely unnecessary proof:

There are 256 squares, and you can count 16 on each edge. this shows 16 times 16, or 16 squared, which is 256.

Sweatshirt = $32 t-shirts = $14 ,
rodikova [14]
Cost of a sweatshirt = $32
Then
Cost of 14 sweatshirts = (32 * 14) dollars
                                     = 448 dollars
Cost of a t-shirt = $14
Cost of 32 t-shirts = (32 * 14) dollars
                               = 448 dollars
So it can seen from the deduction that the cost of 14 sweatshirts and 32 t-shirts comes out to be same and equal to $448. I hope the answer and the procedure of doing this problem is clear to you. It is important to look at all the details given in the question and then start solving the problem.

Is the ans i got correct?<br>the total surface area is 33.8cm² <br>​
ElenaW [278]

Given:

A prism with height 5 cm and equilateral triangular base with side 2 cm.

To find:

The total surface area of the prism.

Solution:

Area of an equilateral triangle is:

A_1=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2

Where, a is the side length.

Putting a=2, we get

A_1=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(2)^2

A_1=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(4)

A_1=\sqrt{3}

A_1\approx \sqrt{3}

The base and top of the prism are congruent so their area must be equal.

The lateral surface area of the prism is:

LA=Ph

Where, P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height of the prism.

The lateral surface area of the prism is:

A_2=(2+2+2)5

A_2=(6)5

A_2=30

Now, the total surface area is the sum of areas of bases and lateral surface area.

A=2A_1+A_2

A=2(1.73)+30

A=3.46+30

A=33.46

Therefore, the total surface area is 33.46 cm².
