The diagram shows 3 squares, the length of which are 1 cm, 2 cm and 3 cm respectively. Each square is made up of small squares which has a length of 1 cm and alternate squares are coloured grey and white.
  1. How many small grey squares are needed to create a square of side 11 cm?
  2. Find the length of the side of a square if 196 small grey and white squares are used to create it.
  3. Find the number of small white squares when a square of side 18 cm is created?

Three planks of different lengths, X,Y and Z are nailed together to make a frame as shown. Plank X has 3 holes which divide it into 4 equal parts. Plank Y has 4 holes which divide it into 5 equal parts and Plank Z has 5 holes which divide it into 6 equal parts. In the frame, the holes A, B and C are three corners of an equilateral triangle. Plank X is 120 cm long. What is the total length of Plank X, Plank Y and Plank Z?
