Question

A square window has an area of 1,232 in2. (a) What is the length of 1 side of the window? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Show all of your work. (1 point for the correct answer and 1 point for showing how you got your answer)

Answer 1

Explanation:

We know that,

area of square = a²

→ 1,232 = a²

→ a = √1232

→ a = 35.0 in

Nearest 10th = 35.1 in

Answer 2

x = length of one side.

1,232in^2 = x^2

Take the sqrt of both sides.

35.1 in = x

The length of one side = 35.1 in
