Question

Kai is making a chessboard using pieces of wood that measure 1sq in when she finishes the chessboard well have an area of 64 sq in how many pieces of wood should he put along each side

Answer 1

Answer:

8 pieces of wood should be put along each side of the chessboard

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in knowing the the number of pieces of wood that should be put along each side of the cheese board.

Firstly, to know the number of pieces of wood to use, we need to divide the area of the board by the area of each piece of wood

Mathematically that would be 64 square inches/ 1 square inch = 64 pieces of wood

64 pieces of wood would be needed to complete the cheeseboard.

The number of pieces to put along each side of the cheese board will be √64.

This is because the shape of a chessboard is square.

Thus the number of pieces to put on each side will be √64 = 8
