Question

A square blanket has an area of 64 square feet. find the length of one side of the blanket

Answer 1

The length of one side of the blanket is
`8ft`

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a square shape.

In this problem we are expected to find the side of the square shape.

we know that the area of the square is expressed as

`area= length * width`

but a square shape has all sides equal hence

`area= length* length\\`

`area= l^(2)`

substituting our area and squaring both side to find l we have

`64= l^(2) \\l= √(64) \\l= 8 ft`
