Question

Addie wants a square rug to cover 36 inches. how long and how wide are the sides

Answer 1

For any square, we know the area is given by
`A=s^(2)` where
`s` is the length of one side.

To solve for the length of the side when we know the area, we need to isolate
`s` by taking the square root of both sides:

`√(A)=\sqrt{s^(2)}`

`s=√(A)`

Substituting given values:

`s=√(36)`

`s=6`

The sides are 6inches long.
