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
o  o  o  o  O
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.

A = 3.5
b = 3.5
c = 2.5
d = 2.85
e = 2.6
The two unit rates that are equal are a and b
28 per 8 salads and 42 per 12 steaks have equal unit rates.

Points J, K, L, and M are midpoints of the sides of the rectangle EFGH. Prove that quadrilateral JKLM is a rhombus by finding th
GaryK [48]
Distance from J to F = b
D from F to K = a
a^2+b^2=JK^2

D from K to G = a
D from G to L = b
a^2+b^2=KL^2

D from L to H = b
D from H to M = a
a^2+b^2=LM^2

D from M to E = a
D from E to J = b
a^2+b^2=MJ^2

For each side, I used the Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to find the length. Since every side of the quadrilateral squared (aka to the power of two) equals a^2+b^2, every side squared equals each other. So JK^2=KL^2=LM^2=MJ^2. If you take the square root of each side of the equal signs, you’re left with JK=KL=LM=MJ. In order for a quadrilateral to be a rhombus, each side must be equivalent. Each side in this quadrilateral is equivalent, therefore it is a rhombus.
