Question

A square has an area of 224 square feet. find the length of each side

Answer 1

For a square,


`A = s^2`


`s^2 = A`


`s^2 = 224 ~sq ~ft`


`s = √(224~sq~ft)`


`s = √(16 * 14)~ft`


`s = 4√(14)~ft`

The exact length of each side is
`4 √(14)~ft` which is 14.97 ft rounded off to the nearest hundredth.
