Question

Kabir is working on an Art Integrated Mathematics project. The theme is ‘Life in Water’. He has

decided to create a school* of different coloured fish, similar to this

He has chosen to create his fish as shown in the figure below. Each fish would be made of

squares and triangles of paper.

There are two sizes of fish that he wants to create. According to the dimensions of materials he

has, he has decided to have the area of each big fish as 352 cm2

.

Question 11: What should the side of each square be?

a) 18.66 cm

b) 8 cm

c) 64 cm

d) 32 cm

*School of fish = a group of​

Answer 1

I think it is 32 cm

I may be wrong because I am too weak in maths

Answer 2

Answer: a) 18.66 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given area of square (each big fish) = $352 \,cm^{2}$

To find: side of each square

We know that the area of the square = $s^{2}$

where, s = length of the side of the square.

       

⇒ $A=s^{2}$

       $s=\sqrt{A}\\\\ = \sqrt{352}\\\\=18.66$

∴ Side of each square = 18.66 cm
