Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have the following formula for calculate the area of the original circular chip:
Where D is the diameter of the circle.
2. Then, if the diameter of the original circular chip is doubled (2D) to use in a new board game, the area of the new chip can be calculated with the following formula:
Assuming no border or waste, 9m by 16 m translates to 29.52' x 52.49'.
use 32/8=4 sheets of plywood to cover the width on the 8' side.
For the length, use 52/4=13 pieces on the 4' side.
This gives a total of 4*13=52 sheets.
The extra 0.49' x 29.52 can be covered using the extra from the last four sheets for the width.
Check:
Area to be covered: 29.52*52.49=1550 sq. ft.
Area of plywood supplied = 52*4'x8'= 1664 sq. ft, > 1550 sq.ft.
