each square on olivia's chessboard is 11 square centimeters. a chessboard has 8 squares on each side. what is the width of olivia's chessboard?
To find the width of Olivia's chessboard, we need to determine the total width of all the squares on one side of the chessboard. Since there are 8 squares on each side, we can multiply the number of squares by the width of each square.
Width of one square = 11 centimeters
Number of squares on one side = 8
Therefore, the width of Olivia's chessboard is:
Width of chessboard = Width of one square * Number of squares on one side
= 11 cm * 8
= 88 centimeters
So, the width of Olivia's chessboard is 88 centimeters.
26.9978
The square root of 11 is 3.317 cm. So each square measures 3.317 cm on a side.
8 * 3.317 = 26.536 cm
or
the area of the whole board = 11(64) = 704 cm^2
the side is √704 = appr 26.533 cm
