Answer 2

Answer:

The line passes through 1×1  the greatest number of  square is 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A straight line is drawn across 4 x 4 chessboard.

To find : What is the greatest number of 1 x 1 squares this line can pass through?

Solution :

Area of the chess board is given by,

$A_c=4 \times 4 \text { unit }^{2}$

$A_c=16 \text { unit }^{2}$

Area of squares is given by,

$A_s=1 \times 1 \text { unit }^{2}$

$A_s=1 \text { unit }^{2}$

The number of squares can be fitted is given by,

$n=\frac{16}{1}=16$

So, the line passes through 1×1  the greatest number of  square is 16.
