Question

If a square has an area of 100ft², what is the length of one of the sides.

Answer 1

The length of one side is 10 feet

Explanation:

This is because the area of a square can be found through the formula side x side or
`side^(2)`. You can find the length of one side by finding the square root of the area. You would get both a positive and negative value for the square root but you want a positive value because a length cannot be negative.
