Yes and no. A square by definition has sides of equal length and the area of a square is just 2 sides multiplied together (x*x=x2). So in the case of a square with area of 5 each side would be length sqrt(5). Now the sqrt(5) is an irrational number, so there is no way that the manufacture of "grid" would break the spacing of the grid such that it divides evenly into an irrational number. However, nothing stops you from drawing the square on the page and defining the length of the side to be exactly sqrt(5).

How many squares are in a 5 by 5 grid?
There would be 25 squares because to find the area of a square you take width, 5, times, height, 5. 5 x 5 = 25.
What is the area of a grid 7×5?
Whats 7x5? 35. That is your answer.
What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 25?
Since the sides of a square with area of 25 are 5 each (5*5=25) the perimeter is going to be 4 * 5 = 20
What is the area of square 5x5?
To find the area of a square, you can use the formula: Area = Side x Side. Plug in your numbers into the equation: Area = 5 x 5 The area is 25 units2.
What in cm is the perimeter and area of a quadrilateral with vertices at -1 1 and -4 5 and 1 5 and 4 1?
Drawing a sketch shows the quadrilateral to be a parallelogram. Using one side parallel to x-axis as a base → area = length of base × distance between the parallel lines = (4 -- 1) × (5 - 1) = 5 × 4 = 20 square units. For the perimeter you have two parallel sides of length (4 - - 1) = 5 units each And two parallel side of length √((5 - 1)² + (-4 - -1)² = √(4² + 3²) = 5 units each → perimeter = 2 × 5 + 2 × 5 = 20 units Now, if the grid is a centimetre grid, then these are 20 sq cm and 20 cm respectively. If the grid is an inch grid, then 1 in = 2.54 cm → perimeter = 20 × 2.54 cm = 50.8 cm → area = 20 × 2.54² sq cm = 129.032 sq cm For any other grid, you'll need to do the conversion yourself.
