Example: A chess board contains equal squares and the area of each square is square cm. a border round the board is cm wide. Find the length of the side of chess board. Solution: There are equal squares each of area square cm. Total area bounded by squares square cm One side of the square containing small squares cm Width of the border cm Length of side of chess board cm.
