Question

The area of a square window is the same as the area of a rectangular window that is 16 in. Long and 4 in. Wide write and solve an equation to find the side length of the square window show your work

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the side length of the square window. Then the area of the square window is x^2, and the area of the rectangular window is 16 * 4 = 64.

We can write the equation:

x^2 = 64

To solve for x, we can take the square root of both sides:

x = √64

x = 8

Therefore, the side length of the square window is 8 inches.
