A checkers board is 8 squares long and 8 squares wide. The area of each square is 14 square centimeters. Estimate the perimeter of the checkers board to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

Respuesta :

Area of each square = 14 sq. cm.
length of each square = sqrt(14) = 3.7 cm

 length of one side  = 8 x 3.7 = 29.6 cm


Perimeter of the checker board = 4 x 29.6 = 118.4 cm

The perimeter of the checker board  118.4 cm

Area of each square = 14 sq. cm.

What is the length?

The square root of area is the length of one side

[tex]length of each square =\sqrt{14} = 3.7 cm[/tex]

[tex]length of one side = 8 * 3.7 = 29.6 cm[/tex]

What is the formula for perimeter of square?

Perimeter (P) =4 (length of side a)

[tex]P=4a[/tex]

[tex]Perimeter of the checker board = 4 *29.6 = 118.4 cm[/tex]

Therefor we get the perimeter of the checker board  118.4 cm
