How many squares of 20 mm × 20 mm can be cut from 1 m × 1 m sheet?

Concept:

Area of a square = (side of the square)2

Calculation:

Given:

Dimension of the sheet = 1 m × 1 m = 1000 mm × 1000 mm

Dimension of the square = 20 mm × 20 mm

Number squares that can be cut from the sheet = \(\frac{Area~of~the~sheet}{Area~of~the~square}\)

⇒ Number squares that can be cut from the sheet = \(\frac{1000~\times~1000}{20~\times~20}\)

⇒ Number squares that can be cut from the sheet = 2500
