Question

The formula for finding the area of a square that has a side length, s, is A= 52. If a square has an area of 40 square

units, what is the length of a side?
20
10/
2 /10

Answer 1

2√10

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Area of square = 40

Mathematically, the area of a square is calculated by using the formula;

Area, A = s²

Where;

s is the length of sides of a square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

40 = s²

s = √40

s = √4 * √10

s = 2 * √10

s = 2√10
