What will be the number of unit squares on each side of a square graph paper if the total number of unit squares is 256

Solution:

Given, the total number of unit squares on square graph paper is 256.

We have to find the number of unit squares on each side of a square graph paper.

A square is a closed two-dimensional shape with four sides.

All four sides of a square are equal and parallel to each other.

We know area of the square = (side)²

Given, (side)² = 256

Square root is an inverse operation of a square.

So, side = √256

We know, square of 16 = 256

Now, √256 = √(16)²

= 16

Therefore, the required number of unit squares on each side is 16.
