Question

an area that is 21 metre wide and 9 metre long is divided evenly into squares . what the greatest possible side length the squares that the area can be evenly divided into​

Answer 1

47 squares

Explanation:

Looking at your question was quite confusing.

So, I'll assume that you're looking for the amount of squares that can fit within the specified area.

To find area: we would do A = L x W

So, our values are 21W and 9L.

Plug it in.

A = 21 x 9

A = 189 square meters

Then, we would find the number of squares that could fit in the area.

A square meter is a square with a side length of 1 meter on each side.

So, 1 x 4 = 4

Divide 189 by 4.

189/4 = 47.25

1/4 is the remainder.

So, our total is 47 squares.

Do please, tell me if I did it incorrectly, since the context is quite vague.
