Answer:
A = 400 in²
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the area of one square section:
[tex]Area\ of\ one\ square\ section = (length\ of\ side)^2\\Area\ of\ one\ square\ section = (2.5\ inch)^2\\Area\ of\ one\ square\ section = 6.25\ in^2\\[/tex]
Since all 64 sections are congruent. Therefore, the area of the game board will be given as follows:
[tex]Area\ of\ Game\ Board = A = 64*(Area\ of\ one\ square\ section) \\Area\ of\ Game\ Board = A = 64*(6.25\ in^2)\\[/tex]
A = 400 in²
