Question

A patio is in the shape of a square. Thesquare patio is made up of 10,000 smallersquares. How many smaller squares arealong a side of the patio?

Answer 1

The square patio is made up of 10,000 smaller squares. It means 10,000 units squares.

Since we have that the area of a square is the multiplication of both sides (they have the same measure), then:

$10000=a\cdot a\Rightarrow a^2=10000\Rightarrow a=\sqrt[]{10000}\Rightarrow a=100$

Then, we have 100 smaller squares along a side of the patio:
