Checkerboard SquaresProblem Statement: Suppose you have a square checkerboard of some size other than an 8 by 8. How can you determine how many squares are on it altogether. You will know you are done when no matter what size checkerboard you are given, you can give a clear procedure for easily computing the total number of squares.Process: To solve this problem, you would first have to make or find a square (example=6by6). Then you would have to find how many total squares are found in this big square. To do this we need to find an equation, we can do this by using math and the knowledge of knowing the square is 6 by 6. To do this you could multiply 6 by 6 and you get the answer. There are multiple answers/solutions
