Problem of the Day Problem of the Day Geometry Squares next
There are five squares in this figure. There are five squares in this figure. next
How many squares are in this figure? How many squares are in this figure? next
I must find the greatest number of squares possible in the diagram shown. I know that a square has four equal sides. My strategy is to separate the squares and then count them up. I will use diagrams of each square, so I do not leave any out.
= 16 squares First I will count all the small squares (one square = length of one side) in the large one, (16). next
Now I will look for squares with two squares as the length of a side, (9). = 9 squares
Then, I will search for squares with three squares as the length of a side, (4). next = 4 squares
Finally, I can count one large square (four squares = length of one side) which has all the small squares in it, 1. = 1 square next
After counting all the squares, my answer is thirty squares. I have checked my work, and I cannot find any other squares. Thus, my answer seems reasonable.
= 1 square = 16 squares = 9 squares = 4 squares = 30 squares Answer: next
