Question

What is a row and what is a column? (8 squares in a line)

Answer 1

Row:

A row is a group of items arranged horizontally.

Column:

A column is a group of items arranged vertically.

For the given case, there are 8 rows and only 1 column.

8 rows

1 column

To find the total number of squares, multiply the rows and columns

`8*1=8\; \text{squares}`

Therefore, there are 8 rows and 1 column, and a total of 8 squares.

Another example:

Rows = 3

Columns = 2

Total squares = 3x2 = 6
