Answer:

3cm

Explanation:

The shape of an iPod Shuffle is similar to that of square.

The Area of a square = (Side length)²

We are told in the question that the area of the iPod was 9 cm².

We are to find the side length of the iPod.

Therefore,

The Area of a square = (Side length)²

9cm² = L²

Square root both sides

√9 cm² = √L²

L = 3cm

Therefore, the side of the iPod is 3cm long.
