Question

If the area of a square shaped rug is 81 in², what is the

measurement
of ONE SIDE of the rug?

Answer 1

Answer: 9 inches

Explanation:

We know that the area of a square can be solved with the following formula when s is the length of one side. We will plug in our known values and solve:

a = s²

(81) = s²

`√(81)` = s

9 in = s

One side of the rug is equal to 9 inches.
