Each square on Olivia's chessboard is 11 square centimeters. A chessboard has 8 squares on each side. To the nearest tenth, what is the width of Olivia's chessboard?

Asked by Baby125

Answer (2)

First, find the length of one side of a square: Area = side² 11 = s² s = √(11) cm
Since there are 8 squares on each side, multiply the length of one square by 8 to get the length of 8 squares. √(11) * 8 = 8√(11) ≈16.5 cm
Hope this helps!

The width of Olivia's chessboard is approximately 26.6 centimeters. This is calculated by finding the side length of one square and then multiplying that by 8 for the total width. The answer is rounded to the nearest tenth.
