The area of each square on a chess board is 4 sq cm. Find the area of the board. |
(a) At the beginning of game when all the chess men are put on the board, write area of the squares left unoccupied. |
(b) Find the area of the squares occupied by chess men. |
Answer:
We know that, there are 64 squares in a chess board. Given area of each square of chess board \[=4c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore\] Area of the board = Number of square in a board \[\times\] Area of one square \[=64\times 4\text{ }cm=256\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\] (a) We know that in a game of chess, there are two players each of row 16 chess men. Now, total number of squares occupied by the chess men in the board \[=16\times 2=32\] \[\because\] Total number of squares are unoccupied by the chess men in the board are = Total number of squares in a chess board ? Number of squares occupied by the chess men in the board \[=64-32=32\]. \[\therefore\] The area of the squares unoccupied = Number of squares left unoccupied by the chess men \[\times\] area of one square \[=32\times 4\text{ }cm=128\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\] (b) The area of the squares occupied by chess men = Number of square occupied by chess board \[\times\] Area of one square \[=32\times 4\text{ }cm=128\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\].
