The area of a square is calculated using the formula s², where s is a side length of the square.

If we plug in our known quantities, we get the equation:

121 = s²

In order to get rid of the square, we must perform the inverse operation, which is to square root.

√121 = s

11 = s

Therefore, a side length of the square would be A. 11 in.
