We are given that the area of a square is 36 square centimeters. The area of a square is given by the following formula:


A=l^2

Since we are given the area we can replace in the formula:


36=l^2

Now we can solve for the length by taking the square root to both sides:


\sqrt[]{36}=√(l^2)

Solving the operations we get:


6=l

Therefore, the length of the square is 6 cen
