If each small square on a grand chest board is 2 cm x 2 cm and the diagonal on the whole board measures square root of 800 cm. How many small squares are on the board?

Answer 1

each edge=800*.707=560cm

that is a really big chess board, bigger than my woodshop.

so 560/2=280 squares along one edge, so total squares=280*280

Geepers.
