Question:
What will be the number of unit squares on each side of a square graph paper, if the total number of unit squares is 256?
Solution:
Let the numbor $5 e x$. Then, number of unit squares $=x \times x=x^{2}$
But total number of unit squares $=256$
$\therefore$ $x^{2}=256$
$\Rightarrow$ $x=\sqrt{256}=\sqrt{16 \times 16}=16$
Hence, the required number of squares is 16 .
