Answer: 5

We have a square that has area of 25 square units. The question is: what is the side length? That would be 5 since 5*5 = 25. You would use guess and check if you weren't familiar with square roots. A better option is to use the square root function on the calculator.

Note: the square root undoes the squaring operation

Answer:

5

Explanation:

When squaring the number 5 (i.e
5^2 ) the answer is 25.
5^(2) is the same thing as 5 times 5. Basically with the square root, you are going backwards, so you are therefore finding the base of it all.
