Question

The area of a square can be found using the equation A = s, where A is the area and s is the measure of one side of the square. Match the equation for how to solve for the side length of a square to its description A square has an area of 60 in2. s= V 602 in. S= = 160 in. S = 602 in. S = 60 in

Answer 1

Given data:

The area of the square is A=60 sq-inches.

The expression for the area of the square is,

`\begin{gathered} A=s^2 \\ 60in^2=s^2 \\ s=\sqrt[]{60}\text{ in} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of s is (60)^(1/2) in, so the second option is correct.
