The side length of each small square on the board is $3$ $3$ $c m .$ $cm.$

Explanation:

As the checkerboard has an area of $576$ $576$ $c m^{2}$ $cm^2$ ,

its each side is $\sqrt{576}$ $sqrt576$

= $sqrt(ul(2xx2)xxul(2xx2)xxul(2xx2)xxul(3xx3))$

= $2xx2xx2xx3=24$ $cm$ .

As each side of the board is made of $8$ small squares,

the side length of each small square on the board is $24/8=3$ $cm.$
