a square chess board has sides measuring 16 inches. what is the area of the chess board? what is the area of each small square in the chess board?

Sagot :

Well, first the formula is this:
[tex]A=bh[/tex]
b=base
h=height

Translation: Area is base times height
So: 16×16=256
The area of the board is 256 inches[tex] ^{2} [/tex].

The small squares should each be only one inch on each side:
So:1×1=1
The area of each tiny square on the board is 1 inch [tex] ^{2} [/tex].

Hope this helps!
