Question

Jackie found the area of a square to be 25/16 square feet.Which shows the side length of the square?

Answer 1

Answer : The side length of the square is, 1.25 ft

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Area of square =
`(25)/(16)ft^2`

Now we have to calculate the side length of the square.

Formula used to calculate the area of square is:

Area of square =
`(Side)^2`

`(Side)^2=(25)/(16)ft^2`

`Side=\sqrt{(25)/(16)ft^2}`

`Side=(5)/(4)ft`

`Side=1.25ft`

Therefore, the side length of the square is, 1.25 ft

Answer 2

The side length is the square root of the area, so is ...

... √(25/16 ft²) = (√25)/(√16) ft = 5/4 ft
