The border of a square game board is 3 inches wider than the main board.

The total area of the game board is 196 in.^2

what are the dimensions of the game board and the main board?

1 answer

sqrt 196 = 14
so the total length and width is 14 inches
take six off and get 8 inches for game board itself if you really mean take 3 off right left above and below
however if you mean take 3 total off length and 3 total off width it is 11 by 11
