Sheet is 28 inches by 22 inches I have to make 100 equal squares how big should the inches be to fit on this sheet?
22*28 is 616
616/100 is 6.16
so what number multiplies by itself to get 6.16? and that's your answer
To determine the size of each square, we need to divide the dimensions of the sheet (28 inches by 22 inches) by the desired number of squares (100).
First, find the area of the sheet by multiplying the length and width:
Area = 28 inches * 22 inches
Next, divide the area by the number of squares to find the area of each square:
Area of each square = Area / 100
Finally, calculate the length of one side of the square by taking the square root of the area of each square:
Length of one side of the square = √(Area of each square)
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Calculate the area of the sheet:
Area = 28 inches * 22 inches = 616 square inches
2. Calculate the area of each square:
Area of each square = 616 square inches / 100 = 6.16 square inches
3. Calculate the length of one side of the square:
Length of one side of the square = √(6.16 square inches) ≈ 2.48 inches
Therefore, each square should be approximately 2.48 inches by 2.48 inches to fit 100 equal squares on a sheet measuring 28 inches by 22 inches.
