The side length of each small square on the board is #3# #cm.#

Explanation:

As the checkerboard has an area of #576# #cm^2#,

its each side is #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.#
