Question

Multiple choice question: A square mosaic is made of small glass squares. If there are 196 small squares

in the mosaic, how many are along one edge? Image is of a mosaic, not the
problem. *
O 14 squares
O 49 squares
O 98 squares
O 16 squares

Answer 1

14 squares

Explanation:

1. We know if the mosaic is a square shape, all sides are the same length and consist of the same amount of squares

2. Area is L×W, so in this case A×A=196

3. We can test this by replacing A with 14 and seeing if the answer is correct.

4. 14×14=196 is true

This can also be done by finding the square root of 196.
