Question

A square with side length c has an area of 81 square centimeters. The following equation shows the area of the square. c^2 = 81. What is the side length of the square in centimeters?

Answer 1

C = 9 centimeters

Explanation:

First, look at the area of a square, which formula is c^2 or in standard format - s^2. Thus, we can say, c^2 = 81. Then, we can simplify, and put c = √81. Since 81 is a perfect square, 9 * 9 = 81. Thus the answer is 9 centimeters.

Answer 2

9 cm

Explanation:

c^2=81

Take the square root of both sides.

The square root of c^2 is c.

The square root of 81 is 9.

c=9
