Answer :
To find the area of each small square in the square field, we need to follow these steps:
First, we know that the larger square field has a side length of 16 meters. Therefore, the total area of the square field is calculated by:
[tex]\text{Area of large square} = (\text{side length})^2 = 16^2 = 256 \text{ square meters}[/tex]
The large square field is divided into 64 smaller equal squares. This means the total area of the large square is distributed equally among these 64 smaller squares.
To find the area of each smaller square, we divide the total area of the large square by the number of smaller squares:
[tex]\text{Area of each small square} = \frac{\text{Total area of large square}}{\text{Number of small squares}} = \frac{256}{64} = 4 \text{ square meters}[/tex]
So, the area of each small square is 4 square meters.
