Question

True or false? A 6 by 7 array is a model of a square number.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

A square number is a number multiplied by itself. six and seven are not the same, therefore a 6 by 7 array is not a model of a square number.

Answer 2

Explanation:

False.

A 6 by 7 array is a rectangular array with 6 rows and 7 columns. In order for an array to model a square number, it must have the same number of rows and columns, forming a perfect square. For example, a 5 by 5 array or a 8 by 8 array would model a square number.

Therefore, since a 6 by 7 array is not a square, it does not model a square number.
