This math task is gaining momentum on social media. This task has been viewed a million times by millions of users. For this math problem the opinions and correct answers of the users are different.
The math problem that attracted many users and created a problem to solve it is the following:
11 x 11 = 4
22 x 22 = 16
33 x 33 = ?
Try to solve this task and find the logic in it.
Most people think that the correct answer is 36. How did they come to that solution? They followed the rule for product of the sum of the digits. In other words, the solution is as follows:
aa x aa = ( a + a ) x ( a + a )
( 1 + 1 ) x ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 x 2 = 4
( 2 + 2 ) x ( 2 + 2 ) = 4 x 4 = 16
( 3 + 3 ) x ( 3 + 3 ) = 6 x 6 = 36
The other group of people think that the correct answer is 18. They follow the rule of sum of the digits in the product. The solution is as follows:
11 x 11 = 121
1 + 2 + 1 = 4
22 x 22 = 484
4 + 8 + 4 = 16
33 x 33 = 1089
1 + 0 + 8 + 9 = 18
