Question

6.
Devika has a square piece of cloth of area 9 m2 and she wants to make
16 square-shaped scarves of equal size out of it. What should possibly be the
length of the side of the scarf that can be made out of this piece?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the square cloth = 9m²

No. of scarves needed = 16

Area of each scarf = 9/16

= 0.56m²

Area of square => a² = 56 x 10-²m²

=> a = 2√14 x 10-² m

Thus each scarf should have side of 2√14x10-²m
