Question

Two squares of same size are joined together to make a single square of area 32 sq.cm. Find the length of each side of the small square.

Answer 1

Area of large square = 32 sq. cm
This is double the area of individual square. This means
2 × Area of small square = 32 sq. cm
Area of small square = $\frac{32}{2}$ = 16 sq. cm
We know that area of a square = Side × Side,
So, 16 sq. cm = 4 cm x 4 cm
Thus, Side length of square = 4 cm
