Eloise is creating a game for her Strategic Games option.

Her square game board will have 64 squares on the inside and a decorative border around the outside edge.
What is the length of the border?
What assumptions can you make?

I am 99% sure.
64 square would suggest that sides of square are 8 “units”.
A=a^2
64=8•8
If decorative border is all around square (1 “unit”) that would make a length of a border: 8•2+10•2=16+20+36.
Good luck.
