Question

Givin the area of a square is 225 square feet, what is the length of each side

Answer 1

A square has four equal sides. Find the square root of 225 which is 15. To find the area of a square you multiply side 1 by side 2. 15x15 = 225 

Answer 2

The area of a square is calculated by squaring the length of the sides (multiplying by itself). Therefore, in order to find the length, you must find the square root of 225.

The square root of 225 is 15. Therefore, you length of each side is 15 feet.


p.s. I don't know how old you are, but I would recommend trying to memorise your square numbers up to
`17^(2)` . I know I found that incredibly useful when it came to my exams last year (GCSEs)
