Question

The area of the square is 36 cm2. What is the formula that shows the length of side b?

Answer 1

`36 = b^(2) \\√(36) =\sqrt{b^(2) }`

Explanation:

For any square, A = side x side, or "side squared"

If area is given, reverse the process-- take the square root of the Area.

in this question "b" is the side,
`A=b^(2)` so substitute the value and solve
`36 = b^(2) \\√(36) =\sqrt{b^(2) }`

6 = b
