Dan is trying to construct a bigger square by utilizing and putting together pieces of square-shaped pieces of paper with similar dimensions. Without tearing or cutting, what is the minimum number of pieces required to achieve his objective?

Respuesta :

4 squares. I just know so yeah

The minimum number of pieces dan requires to achieve his objective of constructing a bigger square is; 4 pieces

  • First of all we need to understand that the 4 sides of a square are equal.

We are told that dan is trying to construct a bigger square with a smaller square. That all the smaller square-shaped pieces of paper have similar dimensions.

  • Now, if the length of a side of the small square shaped pieces is x, it means that if we join 2 of the smaller squares, we will have;

Length = 2x

Width = x

  • Both sides above are not equal and as such we need to join 2 more squares the exact way the above was done. This means that if the 2 new squares are added adjacent to the incomplete side, we will now have;

Length = 2x

Width = 2x

Thus, the minimum number of pieces dan will require to construct the bigger square is 4 squares.
