Question

What is the approximate side length of a square game board with and area of 188 in. squared.

Answer 1

13.7 inches

Step-by-step explanation

Area = base*height

(since it's a square, the lengths of all four sides of the board are equal. therefore, we can write the equation above like the following)

Area of square = side length^2

(square root both sides of the equation, and you get the following)

`√(Area\\)` = side length

(now, substitute the info)

`√(188\\)` = x

(solve)

x = 13.7 inches

Answer 2

Side length of a square game board is

11.916

inches.

Explanation:

If the area is

142

∈

2

, as area is square of side length of a square,

Side length is

√

142

=

11.916

inches.
