Question

Find the missing side length of a square given the area of the square

Answer 1

The area of a square is given by the following formula:

`A=s^2`

To find the sidelength of the square, solve the equation for s:

`s=\sqrt[]{A}`

Replace the given value in the equation to find the sidelength:

`\begin{gathered} s=\sqrt[]{(16)/(49)} \\ s=(4)/(7) \end{gathered}`

The sidelength is 4/7cm.
