Answer:

3√2 inches ≈ 4.24 inches

Explanation:

You want the length of the side of a square with an area of 18 square inches.

Area formula

The formula for the area of the square is given as ...

A = s²

Solution

Solving for s, we find ...

s = √A . . . . . take the square root of both sides of the equation

For an area of 18 square inches, the side length is ...

s = √(18 in²) = 3√2 in ≈ 4.24 in

The length of the side of the square is exactly 3√2 inches, about 4.24 inches.

__

Additional comment

Lengths are measured in units of distance (inches).

Areas are measured in units of distance squared (square inches).

Volumes are measured in units of distance cubed (cubic inches).
