Question

7) The formula for finding the area of a square is A = 5^2. How could you rewrite this formula to solve for s?

Answer 1

`A=s^2`

This is the area of a square formula, where

A is the Area

s is the length of the sides

To solve for the variable s, we need to isolate it.

The "s" is squared. To get rid of the square, we need to take the square root of both the sides.

Thus,

`\begin{gathered} A=s^2 \\ \sqrt[]{A}=\sqrt[]{s^2} \\ \sqrt[]{A}=s \end{gathered}`

We can re-arrange and write:

`s=\sqrt[]{A}`
