Question

13.Cans were arranged in the shape of a square. Seven cans were placed in front of the square. If a total of 32 cans were used, how many rows and columns were in the square?

A 13. Explain how the diagram above represents this problem?




B 13. What equation would you use to represent this problem?




C 13. How many rows and columns were in the square?

Answer 1

I might be wrong not sure about this one though you can try to double check it with someone else as well.

Explanation:

According to the diagram 7 cans and the square equals 32 cans so to find the number of rows and columns in the square we subtract 7 from 32 we get 25

that is the area of the square and as we know the length of the square is equal to its width because all the sides of the square is equal so we take the square root of 25 we get 5

so the length of the square is 5 as well as the width is also 5 which means there are 5 rows and 5 columns in the square.

A) The diagram shows 7 cans placed in front of the square and there are total of 25 cans 5 rows and 5 columns

B)
`7+x^2=32`

because length of the side is supposed to be x and since in the square figure length equals width so length multiplied by width becomes
`x^(2)`

c) 5 rows and 5 columns
