Question

The area of a square is 16 cm². What is the length?

Answer 1

4 cm.

The formula for the area of a square is
`A=s^(2)`, given that A is the area and s is the side length.

Therefore, plugging in 16 for A, you can then take the square root of it to get s alone on one side, and the square root of 16 is 4.

Thus, your answer should be 4 cm.
