The first column, which is the first entries of each row, is 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57.

The second column is each of these numbers plus 1, the third column is each number plus 2, and so on until the eighth column which is each number plus 7.

By picking one square from each row and column, you are essentially getting each of the numbers from the first column as well and one of each +0, +1, +2, ... +7.

When you add that all together, you get 260:

1 + 9 + 17 + 25 + 33 + 41 + 49 + 57 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 260.

What have two squares and four rectangles?

A box made of four identical rectangles for the front/top/back/bottom and the end pieces are squares.


Arrange the numbers 1 to 9 in a 3 x 3 box so the bottom number totals the top two?

This is not possible to do. Here's why: Since 9 is the highest number, it must go on the bottom and be the sum of two lesser numbers. Those two lesser numbers will add up to 9, obviously. The sum of 1 through 9 is 45. 45 minus 9, then minus those two numbers equals 27. This means that the remaining squares sum to 27. Since whats on the top two rows must equal whats on the bottom row, we can determine that the two remaining bottom squares would sum to 27/2 or 13.5. Since this is not a whole number(integer), the problem has no solution.


Sixteen matches has two squares how do you switch four matches to make three squares?

Assuming the sixteen matches are two squares made up of eight matches each. Two matches on top (horizontal), two matches on the bottom (horizontal), two matches on the left side (vertical), two matches on the right side (vertical). Remove one vertical match from each side from both squares. (A total of four matches) in the same row. Place two of the matches horizontally in-between the two squares both on the top and bottom. Then you'll have three squares.


Are some fractions rational numbers?

All fractions with whole numbers on top and bottom are rational numbers,and many fractions with decimals on top or bottom, or both, are also rationalnumbers.

How do you work out shaded squares?

Count all the squares then count the shaded squares put the shaded number at the top and the number of all squares at the bottom so it might look like this ⅜ 8 is the total and 3 is the number of shaded squares

How will you state the position of a particular square in chess board?

Algebraic Notation is currently used : in Algebraic Notation the chessboard is divided into ranks and files. The ranks are the horizontal rows of squares labeled 1 through 8. The files are the vertical columns of squares labeled a through h. Each square on the chessboard can be identified by a unique combination of file and rank. For example, the highlighted square on the right is called c7 because it lies on the c file and the 7 rank. Some boards do not have the ranks and files labeled so it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with it. From the perspective of the White side, the files are always labeled a through h going from left to right and the ranks are always labeled 1 through 8 going from bottom to top. ~ Look to the related links below .
