Question

The area of a square is shown below. Find the side length of the squareand explain how you found your answer.A = 25 in.2

Answer 1

Answer:

The side length of the square = 5 in

Explanations:

If the side length of a square is represented as L

The area of the square is given by the formula:

Area, A = L²

Since the Area is given in the question as:

A = 25 in²

Substitute the value of A into the formula A = L²

25 = L²

Square root both sides:

`\begin{gathered} √(25)=√(L^2) \\ 5\text{ = L} \\ L\text{ = 5 in} \end{gathered}`

The side length of the square = 5 in
