Question

A square has an area of 121 square feet. What is the side length of the square

Answer 1

11

Explanation:

`Area = s^2`

s = side

`A =121\\121 = s^2\\Square\:root\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\\√(121)=√(x^2) \\\\11 =x\\x=11`

Answer 2

11 feet

Explanation:

The area of a square is simply the side of the square squared. This can be written as an equation as follows:

A = l^2

where A is the area of the square and l is the length of a side of the square.

Using this, we can find the length of the side.

121 = l^2

sqrt(121) = sqrt (l^2)

11 = l

Hence, the side length of the square is 11 feet.

Cheers.
