Question

If the square below has an area of 49 square inches what is the length of a side of the square?

Answer 1

Given: Area of square = 49 square inches

To find: length of side of the square

Solution:

Since, area of square = side x side

Thus,

`\begin{gathered} \text{side}* side=49 \\ \text{side}^2=49 \\ \text{side}^2=(7)^2 \\ \text{side}=7\text{inches} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the length of the side of the square is 7 inches
