Answer:
Here's your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the side of a chessboard be x cm.
Area of 1 square in chessboard= 6.25 cm²
area of 64 squares= 64 × 6.25
Area of 64 square = (x - 4)²
=> 64 × 6.25 = (x - 4)²
=> 400 = (x - 4)²
=> 400 = x² + 4² -2×x×4
=> [(a-b)²= a²+b² -2ab]
=> 400 = x² +16 - 8x
=> 400 - 16 = x²+ 16
=> 384 = x²+ 16
=> x² +16 - 384 = 0
=> x² - 24x +16x - 384= 0
=> x (x - 24) + 16 ( x - 24) = 0
=> (x - 24) (x + 16) = 0
=> (x - 24) = 0 or (x + 16) = 0
=> x = 24 or x= -16
Length can't be negative, so x = 24.
Hence the Length of the side of the chess board = 24 cm.
