Question

What is the side length of a square with area 1/16 square units?

Answer 1

¼ units

Explanation:

Area = s²

1/16 = s²

s² = (¼)²

s = ¼

Answer 2

The side length is 1/4 unit

Explanation:

We know the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

1/16 = s^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(1/16) = sqrt(s^2)

1/4 = s

The side length is 1/4 unit
