Question

Keisha's kitchen is shaped like a square. The room has an area of 225 feet squared. Which is the length of one side of Keisha's kitchen?

Answer 1

Length of one side of Keisha's kitchen = 15 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side of square be a. The area of a rectangle is breadth x width. Here breadth = width = side of square

Area of square = a x a =
`a^2`

It is given that area of Keisha's kitchen is known, so she can find side of the square by finding square root of the area.

So we have area = 225 feet squared =
`a^2`

So length of one side of Keisha's kitchen =
`√(225) =15`feet
