a square rug would not be 32 cm or it would not be 16..we gotta be realistic too

You have 64 sq m for each piece so the pieces are 8 m by 8 m.
If the pieces are arranged in a square, then you have 8 pieces by 8 pieces so one side of the square mat would be 8x8 or 64 meters and the perimeter would be 4x64=256 meters.
However that perimeter would only apply if the pieces are arranged in a square as you say.

If there are 64 squares, then the mat is 8x8. This means that the mat is eight squares wide. Since each square is 64 meters squared in area, each square has a side length of 8 m. That means the width of the mat is 8*8 = 64.
The perimiter of the mat is four times the width = 4*64 = 256 meters.

ok now i understand after afew attempts lol
a square mat has 64 squares so there are 8 squars along each side.
each of these squares have an area of 64m^2. sqrt of 64 = 8 so each side of each square is 8m.
hence 8^2 = 64m is the length of one side. times by 4 for the perimeter hence the answer is 256m.

32 is the answer. 8x8=64.... perimeter would be 4*8=32
