Question
A square is constructed on a graph paper which has asquare grid of 1 cm width. Ram paints all the squareswhich cross the two diagonals of the square and findsthat there are 19 of them. Then the side of the squareis
Solution
The number of squares that cross the diagonals of a larger square is equal to the length of the side of the larger square. This is because the diagonals of a square divide it into two equal right-angled triangles, and each square on the diagonal corresponds to one unit of length on the side of the square.
So, if Ram finds that there are 19 squares crossing the diagonals of the larger square, then the side of the larger square is 19 cm.
