Question

There are how many squares in a chess board?

Answer 1

64 squares

Answer 2

64 squares. This number is found with the assumption that we're looking only at 1x1 squares

Answer 3

Although this investigation seems quite simple, it requires a methodical approach if the correct answer is to be attained.

As the title suggests, the investigation involves children finding out how squares there are on a chessboard. You might think that there are only 64, but you would be wrong..

There are many more different-sized squares on the chessboard.

The complete list of answers is shown below:

1, 8x8 square

4, 7x7 squares

9, 6x6 squares

16, 5x5 squares

25, 4x4 squares

36, 3x3 squares

49, 2x2 squares

64, 1x1 squares

Therefore, there are actually 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 squares on a chessboard! (in total 204).

Answer 4

64

Answer 5

Dear Brother, there are 64 squares in a chess board.

Answer 6

8 x 8 = 64

Answer 7

64 there are 8 on each side

Answer 8

64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 204

I remember being forced to investigate this for Maths a few years ago and getting into explanations will just make my brain frazzled... =]

Answer 9

Your question is more complex than it at first seems.  The simplistic and superficial answer is 64, but there are actually 204 squares on a chess board.  Have a look at this site that explains it.  And in case anyone is interested, there are 1296 rectangles on a chess board!!
