Question

1.1 practice questions

1. write the number of unit squares in each large square as a power.

a)
b)

Explanation:

Part (a)

Step1: Determine side length of large square

The large square in part (a) has a side length (number of unit squares along one side) of 2, since it is divided into 2 unit squares per side.

Step2: Calculate number of unit squares as a power

The area of a square (number of unit squares) is side length squared. So for side length \( n = 2 \), the number of unit squares is \( 2^2 \).

Step1: Determine side length of large square

The large square in part (b) has a side length (number of unit squares along one side) of 5, as we can see 5 unit squares per side.

Step2: Calculate number of unit squares as a power

The area of a square is side length squared. For side length \( n = 5 \), the number of unit squares is \( 5^2 \).

Answer:

\( 2^2 \)

Part (b)
